Chance the Rapper reschedules tour

Chance the Rapper released his new album The Big Day back in July, and he was set to begin his tour supporting it on September 14 in San Francisco. In a new Instagram post, however, Chance says that aside from a few dates, he’s rescheduled his tour to begin in January of 2020 instead:

I thought it over for the past week and I’ve decided to push back my tour. This year has been one of the greatest of my life; Marriage, new baby, first album etc. But with it being so eventful it has also been very strenuous having to divide my time and energy between family and work. When Kensli was born, I went on tour 2 weeks later and missed some of the most important milestones in her life, but more importantly I was absent when her mother needed me the most. At this point as a husband and father of two I realize that I can’t make that mistake again. I need to be as helpful and available as possible to my wife in these early months of raising Kensli and Marli. I apologize because I know how many people were counting on seeing me soon, but I hope you’ll understand and forgive me in time. Tour kicks off Jan. 15th and you can still get tix or your refund if you are unavailable at chanceraps.com & a few of the shows are still being rescheduled as well so stay tuned. I love you guys AND LITERALLY CANT WAIT FOR U TO WITNESS THIS SHOW 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Chance is on the lineup for a few festivals this month, including Life is Beautiful, iHeartRadio Music Festival, and Miami Pop Beach Fest – he’ll still appear at all of those. He also has a big hometown Chicago show this month at United Center on September 28, which is still on as well.

Chance’s NYC show on October 8 has been moved to February 8 at Madison Square Garden, and tickets are on sale. His Newark date at Prudential Center, originally scheduled for October 2, doesn’t have a new date yet. Stay tuned, and see all dates below.
