The staff for the Uma Musume: Pretty Derby franchise announced the cancellation of the U.S. leg of the 7th Event World Tour: The Stage on Monday, October 20. According to the franchise's official English website and social media channels, the decision followed an unsuccessful six-month effort to secure the necessary U.S. visas for the performers. Cygames confirmed that refunds are being processed for both on-site and streaming ticket holders, noting that further responses for in-person attendees are currently under review. The tour, which began in Tokyo in June, was intended to be the franchise's first global concert series, with additional stops planned for London, Seoul, and Yokohama. The franchise, which centers on the "Twinkle Series" sports entertainment show, expanded its reach with the English-language release of its mobile game on June 26, 2025.
