Kanye West's Yeezus Tour postponed indefinitely

[FrostBite]

I was supposed to go to the show next Tuesday.

http://www.thefader.com/2013/10/31/kanye-wests-yeezus-tour-postponed/

"Yesterday, on the road to Vancouver, a truck carrying The Yeezus Tour’s custom-made video truss and 60-ft circular LED screen was in an accident that damaged the gear beyond repair. This gear is central to the staging of The Yeezus Tour, and central to the creative vision put forth by Kanye West and his design team at DONDA. As a result of this event, it is impossible to put on the show and The Yeezus Tour will be postponed until these essential pieces can be reengineered and refabricated. Kanye West will not compromise on bringing the show, as it was originally envisioned and designed, to his fans. The Vancouver, Denver and Minneapolis dates have been postponed. Further details on the affected tour dates will be announced shortly."

and i rarely buy tickets for a show in advance


oh well money saved i went to a friends for the weekend and drake was cancelled in philly and we had tickets. that was shyttier though cause he cancelled at the venue, knowing in the advance is




we need a spinoff thread to discuss if elaborate fukking stages are messing up the concert game though, cause i'm likely missing both tours due to stage problems

Proves that it's not about music or performing. It's about a spectacle of shyt to distract from the music. Kanye can't perform without a bunch of props?

People are not gonna pay well over $100 to watch him dance around in masks and leather pants on a plain white stage

Even so, the props add to the spectacle, which adds to the performance. "Directors can't make movies without a bunch of special effects?" is essentially what you're asking.

most great directors don't even use crazy special effects...

I'm just saying with Kanye it's not about the music.

The fukk? Spielberg? Ridley scott? Name any current directors who don't.

And kanye is all about the music.

Well I hadn't paid my friend yet for the drake concert, but she did get her money back. i think you go back to the outlet (online or otherwise) that you purchased it from and work it out from them. They will likely give you the option of getting a new ticket for the pushed back date or having your money back.


I haven't heard about the ye tour yet, but best belive I'm getting my money back and then maybe i'll rebuy tickets if i feel like later

Idk if you've been to a Kanye show like glow in the dark or whatever but it's more than a show its an experience

Damn Kendrick is catching an L right here... He just wants to get on stage and spit...These diva tactics gotta be fukkin with his emotions...

that sucks for the people that don't get to see the show...that shyt was great....and for all the people saying he needs the stuff to put on a show, not really...it has cool effects that go along with each song (especially when he does power), but the shyt is kinda just there, being extra in the background while he's on the other stage killing it...
