«The production of the Pulse Of Gaia festival takes note of the decision of the Prefecture of Reggio Emilia to ban the Travis Scott and YE – Kanye West concerts scheduled respectively for Friday 17 July and Saturday 18 July 2026 at the RCF Arena in Reggio Emilia», we read in a press release from the RCF Arena sent by Marta Falcon of Parole e Dintorni. But the event goes on: «More information on the progress of the other three days of the Pulse Of Gaia festival will be communicated as soon as possible».
Pulse of Gaia leaders also disseminate information on
ticket refund methods: «The official Ticketmaster and Vivaticket presale circuits will send buyers, by Thursday 4 June, via email all the details on how to request a refund for the Travis Scott (17 July) and YE – Kanye West (18 July) concerts. It will be possible to request a refund for tickets purchased through Ticketmaster and Vivaticket by 19 July 2026. The refund must be requested exclusively from the purchase channel used to issue the ticket, it will be equal to the price + pre-sale of the ticket and will be paid within the terms established by law”.
Meanwhile, in the afternoon, the Hellwatt Festival team, i.e. the old organisers, made it known that they will still try to understand “if it were possible to bring Kanye West to a location near Reggio Emilia again on 18 July 2026” and that they are also evaluating “a class action against the producer and manager of RCF Arena, C.Volo SpA, as it deliberately changed the name and concept of the festival, thus deceiving consumers”.
