Drake has canceled his upcoming Manchester concert.
The “Hotline Bling” rapper, who was scheduled to perform at Manchester’s Co-op Live arena on Monday, has now called off that appearance and rescheduled the date for August 5. Fans have been reassured that “all tickets remain valid for the new date.”
Previously, Drake had played shows in the same city on Friday and Saturday as part of his “Some Special Shows 4 U” tour and is also slated to perform another gig at the arena on August 4.
A statement on the arena’s website read: “Due to unforeseen ferry schedule and travel logistics, tomorrow’s performance in Manchester on July 28th has been rescheduled.”
“The good news is that Drake will now perform in Manchester on Tuesday, August 5th, and it’s set to be an unforgettable night,” the statement further mentioned.
This rescheduling comes after the Canadian artist recently released his latest single, a collaboration with the popular British rapper Central Cee.
The collaboration follows their previous team-up for the 2023 song “On the Radar Freestyle” and was teased earlier this month at London’s Wireless festival. Bringing Central Cee to the stage, Drake addressed the audience, saying, “I’m so proud of this guy. He’s going around the world, killing it, shutting down every show, record after record.”
