Nicki Minaj has postponed her upcoming tour, and Future wont even be on the North American dates anymore.
Well here’s some bad news for Nicki Minaj & Future fans. The two superstars were set to hit the road next month for their forthcoming “NICKIHNDRXX” tour, but it appears that’s no longer happening. According to a press release from LiveNation, Nicki has postponed the North American leg of the tour til May of 2019, and now Future won’t even be apart of it. Future will however still be on the European leg of the tour that kicks off in February, but not the North American dates.
“Due to scheduling conflicts Future will not be on the North American run,” the press release reads. “Nicki Minaj will be announcing new North American dates to kick off in May 2019. Refunds for the previously scheduled North American dates will be available at point of purchase, with new Nicki Minaj on-sale details announced soon.”
Nicki herself hasn’t made an announcement or revealed why the tour was postponed, but the press release cited “elements of production” as being the cause of the setback. She also wanted more time to rehearse for the tour so her fans “get the absolute best quality show that they deserve.”
This announcement comes shortly after Page Six published a report citing an unnamed source with Live Nation who said Minaj is “spiraling out of control” and the tour is in danger of being canceled. “Nicki’s tour could be the most disappointing ticket sales of the year for any artist,” the source said. “These are big arenas with up to 20,000 capacities. Sales for opening night in Baltimore is 2,000 tickets. LA is 3,400, New Orleans 1,000, Denver 1,300, Chicago 3,900. Even her hometown Brooklyn is only 5,050.”
The tour will now kick off in Europe this coming February as planned. Unfortunately, those wishing to see Future with Nicki here in the states won’t be able to.
We’ll continue to keep you posted moving forward on the upcoming U.S. tour dates. Stay tuned.
