The artist and venue announced the cancellation just two hours before the show, citing safety concerns.
By Felo News Desk · Published
Country music star Ella Langley cancelled her Friday night concert at the 19,000‑seat Bank of Oklahoma Center in Tulsa just two hours before the scheduled start, saying a "serious security threat" endangered fans, staff and her team.
Langley posted on Facebook that the decision was made under the advice of local authorities, the venue and her security team. The BOK Center issued a statement confirming the show could not proceed after "careful consideration".
Police Captain Richard Meulenberg said his department did not recommend cancellation. After an initial security sweep with bomb‑sniffing dogs cleared the venue, a caller warned that someone planned to cause "great harm" with "shots fired and bombs". A second sweep found no credible threat, and Meulenberg told fans the venue was safe.
Langley, 27, expressed regret, noting the time, travel and money involved, and pledged to prioritize safety above all else.
