It was supposed to be one of the biggest concert events of the summer, but a planned performance by Jon Bon Jovi in Vancouver’s Stanley Park has been cancelled.

The legendary rocker was slated to kick off his world tour with the Kings of Suburbia at the Brockton Point venue on Saturday, but promoter Paper Rain Performances revealed the show has been postponed indefinitely on Monday afternoon.

“We remain hopeful that a future date can be confirmed,” the Vancouver-based company said in a statement.

No further information has been provided, including a reason for the cancellation.

John Coupar, chair of the Vancouver park board, revealed over the weekend that Paper Rain Performances hasn’t paid for the permits required to stage the concert.

Ticket brokers also told CTV News that sales for Bon Jovi have been slow, potentially because of the abundance of outdoor festivals in Metro Vancouver this summer.

Bon Jovi’s touring company called the cancellation a disappointment.

“The band was ready and willing to give a great performance on Saturday. Unfortunately, the local promoter, Paper Rain Performances has proven unable to guarantee a properly-produced event,” a spokesperson said in a statement.

Bon Jovi Tours Inc. alleged that on top of not securing permits, the promoters haven’t paid for staging, security, and lighting vendors.

Calls to Paper Rain Performances have not been returned.
