Show goes on for Denise Ho with free Hong Kong concert after Lancome scrapped her event

Canto-pop singer Denise Ho Wan-sze has announced she will host a free concert in Hong Kong this Sunday, two weeks after cosmetics giant Lancome called off a planned performance following sharp criticism the entertainer drew from mainland internet users.

Ho’s concert is to be held in the same neighbourhood, on the same day and at around the same time as the one originally planned by Lancome.

Lancome’s mini-concert was part of a two-day programme co-organised by the cosmetics giant and eight shops in an area of Sheung Wan called PoHo, referring to Po Hing Fong and Tai Ping Shan streets. Both the programme and mini-concert were cancelled.
