Drake show pushed back two months at the final hour
By Chris Cooke | Published on Monday 21 October 2013
Showing famous late-starters like Axl Rose, Pete Doherty and Justin Bieber how it’s really done, Drake this weekend kicked off a show 60 days late. Well, technically that’s what he’ll do in 58 days time. I hope those Drake fans brought snacks with them.
So yes, Drake fans were left disappointed this weekend when a Saturday night show in Philadelphia was cancelled right at the last minute, as fans were taking their seats apparently, because of “technical difficulties”. Ticket buyers were told to go home and return on 18 Dec, when the gig has been rescheduled.
A spokeswoman for the venue, the Wells Fargo Center, told reporters: “Due to the elaborate nature of tonight’s show and an unexpected technical issue, Drake’s ‘Would You Like A Tour’ concert at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia has been postponed until Wednesday, December 18”.
