Where can i get the info when they set the date to reschedule?
I have tickets and have not received any notification that the show is cancelled.
If i didn't see it here, i would have went to the show!

Femi's show in Toronto just got cancelled. I received a phone call from Ticketmaster to that effect.
It would have been great!
