St. Petersburg Stadium Cancels Ye Concerts Last Minute
26 Aug
Summary
- Stadium cites lack of rental agreements for October concerts.
- Ye's shows were scheduled for October 10 and 11.
- The rapper has been attempting to rebuild his image this year.
Two concerts scheduled for October 10 and 11 in St. Petersburg, Russia, headlined by the artist formerly known as Kanye West (Ye), have been canceled. The venue, Gazprom Arena, announced the cancellations on Monday, citing a lack of signed rental agreements.
Gazprom Arena stated in a social media post that it was not the organizer of the events and had not entered into any agreements for them. This announcement followed previous effusive social media posts from the stadium promoting Ye's concerts.
The concerts were reportedly organized by the Moscow-based Say Agency. Representatives for Ye, the stadium, and the agency did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Ye has been actively working to rehabilitate his image throughout this year after past controversies. He has held concerts in several countries recently, with future dates planned in the United States.
