On 14 January, homegrown acts Sepia Times and The Sundown have released statements regarding their cancelled performances at this weekend's Wavy Baby Festival in Cebu.
Alt-pop duo Sepia Times were originally scheduled to open the inaugural edition of the festival yesterday (13/01), with their performance scheduled for 3 PM. Before gates were scheduled to open, Careless Music's James Reid announced that the opening of the festival would be moved to 7 PM due to the rain and mud. The delay caused some performances to be cancelled or pushed back.

In their statement, the 'You Can Have Mine' act explained how they will no longer be able to perform at the festival due to "reasons and factors that were out of our hands." "We really did want to see your faces and play our music for you. Sorry to the people who came to see us," the pair added.
