BUFFALO, N.Y. — Chance The Rapper's long-awaited concert in Buffalo isn't going to happen.
He had originally scheduled the KeyBank Center date for November 8, then pushed it back to February 10, 2020. Now it's off completely, KeyBank Center announced on Sunday.
"Refunds will be available at point of purchase. If you purchased tickets via tickets.com by phone or online your tickets will be automatically refunded," according to the KeyBank Center statement.
The concert had Lil Yachty and Taylor Bennett billed as opening acts on "The Big Tour." Chance The Rapper had pushed back the North American tour dates on September 9, when he released a statement on his Facebook and Instagram pages.
“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 🙏🏾🙏🏾”
