American rapper Kanye West's upcoming concerts in Saint Petersburg will be rescheduled to new dates after organizers failed to reach an agreement with venue management, according to reports by the Telegram channel Mash.
The hip-hop star was originally scheduled to perform in the city on October 10 and October 11. However, event promoter Say Agency was unable to coordinate and finalize those specific dates with the chosen venue, the Gazprom Arena.
Reporting by Mash indicated that the artist will still perform in Saint Petersburg despite the scheduling conflict, although the revised concert dates have not yet been determined. Representatives for Say Agency have so far made no official statements regarding the postponement or cancellation of the show.
Prior to the news of the venue disagreement, the organizers of West's Saint Petersburg concert had sent out unusual letters to prospective audience members. Until that point, fans and ticket buyers had been urged by event coordinators to await a formal announcement.
