Lauren Dyogi explains decision to postpone BINI's Europe tour
MANILA, Philippines — Star Magic head Lauren Dyogi explained the postponement of BINI's "Signals" Europe Tour.
In his TikTok account, Lauren said that the decision was made after careful consideration.
"On behalf of ABS-CBN, Star Music, Star Events and also Star Magic, I'd like to personally apologize to all the Blooms who were hassled or inconvenienced by our decision to postpone to a better date, actually, the European leg of 'Signals' world tour," he said.
"It was not an easy decision. It was a joint decision, discussion, lots of meetings and discussion with our agent, the team... and all the promoters and ABS-CBN management," he added.

Lauren said that the management had been planning the group's 2026 world tour since last year. The conflict involving United States, Israel and Iran, however, affected the plans.
"Natanggal sa itinerary namin 'yong Middle East. We were supposed to go back to Dubai and some other cities," he said.
Lauren said the ongoing conflict has triggered an oil crisis and economic challenges, making it difficult to market and stage the tour in Europe.
"Because of the prolonged, unexpected prolonged war and ang impact nga po niyan ay oil crisis, naramdaman naman po natin 'yong effects sa inflation, sa ekonomiya, hindi lang sa Pilipinas, sa buong mundo, talaga naman po nahirapan... Nahirapan ang lahat na involved selling that market," he said.
"Pati 'yong cost, dating budget namin na mas mababa 'yong dolyares, ngayon mas mataas na siya because nag-iba 'yong exchange rate so naging mas mahal mag-produce, magdala ng isang tour around the world. To be honest, it's economically not viable at this time to continue the European leg," he added.
BINI's "Signals" tour started last June with a two-night show at the SM Mall of Asia Arena.
