Chance The Rapper Bringing Tour To PPG Paints Arena On Pushed Back Date
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Grammy Award-winning Chance the Rapper is postponing his tour.
The Big Day Tour was supposed to stop at PPG Paints Arena on Sunday, Oct. 6 at 7 p.m. However, Chance The Rapper announced he's pushing his tour back to 2020.
Chance the Rapper will now be in Pittsburgh on Feb. 20, 2020.
He announced the change on Instagram and apologized to fans.
The caption reads:
"I thought it over for the past week and I've decided to push back my tour. This year has been one of the greatest of my life; Marriage, new baby, first album etc. But with it being so eventful it has also been very strenuous having to divide my time and energy between family and work. When Kensli was born, I went on tour 2 weeks later and missed some of the most important milestones in her life, but more importantly I was absent when her mother needed me the most. At this point as a husband and father of two I realize that I can't make that mistake again. I need to be as helpful and available as possible to my wife in these early months of raising Kensli and Marli. I apologize because I know how many people were counting on seeing me soon, but I hope you'll understand and forgive me in time. Tour kicks off Jan. 15th and you can still get tix or your refund if you are unavailable at chanceraps.com & a few of the shows are still being rescheduled as well so stay tuned. I love you guys AND LITERALLY CANT WAIT FOR U TO WITNESS THIS SHOW ????????????????"
He credits the decision to recently becoming a father and a husband and finding it difficult to "divide my time and energy between family and work."
The tour now kicks off Jan. 15.
You can still buy tickets, but if you can't go, you can get a refund here.
The 35-stop tour promotes the rapper's new album of the same name.
The tour begins in San Francisco in September and wraps up in November in Miami.
