Drake Cancels Upcoming Show In Manchester Due To “Travel Logistics,” Angering Fans

Drake has postponed his July 28 show at Manchester’s Co-op Live Arena due to “unforeseen ferry schedule and travel logistics,” after already performing two shows at the venue earlier that weekend. The conflict arose from Drake’s scheduled show on Sunday (July 27) in Gothenburg, Sweden, which complicated transporting his crew and equipment back to Manchester in time. The Toronto rap superstar has now rescheduled his postponed Manchester show for August 5. “Due to unforeseen ferry schedule and travel logistics, tomorrow’s performance in Manchester on July 28th has been rescheduled,” reads an official statement on the Co-op Live website. “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 delay follows Drake’s kickoff for his $ome $pecial $ongs 4 UK tour in Birmingham on July 20, with the co-headling jaunt with PARTYNEXTDOOR continuing with a series of additional UK and European dates throughout the summer.
