North West’s Debut Headlining Tour With Molly Santana Canceled Just Days Before Scheduled Kick-Off: ‘Sadly, It’s Not Happening Anymore’
North West’s debut co-headlining North American tour with rapper Molly Santana has been cancelled days before it was due to begin in Dallas on 5 August. The cancellation removes a planned live launch for West’s debut EP, NOrth4evr, and affects fans who had bought tickets across 14 dates.
The tour was due to run until 27 August, visiting cities including Houston, Atlanta, New York, Toronto, Chicago, Phoenix, San Francisco and Los Angeles. Ticketing and venue pages marked or removed most shows, while West said on Instagram that the tour was “not happening anymore” and promised something else soon; Santana apologised to ticket-holders, but neither artist’s representatives had confirmed the reason.
In short
- North West and Molly Santana’s 14-date tour has been cancelled.
- It was scheduled to begin in Dallas on 5 August.
- No reason for the cancellation has been publicly given.
Explained simply
North West is a young American performer and the daughter of musicians Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. She has begun releasing music under her own name, including the EP NOrth4evr, while rapper Molly Santana has built a following through her own releases and performances.
A co-headlining tour is a set of concerts promoted around two artists sharing top billing. The planned North American dates would have taken West and Santana to venues in several cities, giving fans a chance to hear their music live and marking a stage in West’s move into performing.
