It has come to our attention that a significant discrepancy has emerged regarding the lineup for Rebel Salute 2026. While promotional materials for the event have recently circulated listing the vocal group L.U.S.T. as a featured act, the group has officially moved to clarify their status.

In a statement shared across their social media platforms, the group informed their global fan base that their inclusion on the program was an error, stating clearly that they have not been contacted, booked, or contracted for the upcoming festival.

The group expressed deep regret for any confusion this may have caused, specifically addressing supporters who may have already secured tickets with the expectation of seeing them perform. While they will not be appearing at this particular staging of Rebel Salute, the members emphasized their gratitude for the unwavering support they receive from fans worldwide. They concluded by expressing their desire to return to the stage soon under the proper professional arrangements, leaving the door open for future performances once the necessary logistics are in place.
