Lil Baby Forced to Cancel 10 Arena Tour Shows Due to Sluggish Ticket Sales

Lil Baby: Before the start of Lil Baby’s “It’s Only Us” tour in Texas next week, the Atlanta-based rapper has dropped ten cities from the initial 32-stop lineup with little explanation. The Kid Laroi has also been dropped as a support act, however, GloRilla, Gloss Up, Rylo Rodriguez, and Hunxho are still scheduled to appear.

The highly anticipated It’s Only Us tour, which features GloRilla, Rylo Rodriguez, Gloss Up, The Kid LAROI, and Hunxho as support artists, is set to get off next week in Houston, Texas. So, why have some dates been abruptly canceled with no explanation?

The nationwide arena tour, produced by AG Entertainment Touring and Mammoth, will no longer visit Phoenix, San Diego, Las Vegas, Sacramento, Salt Lake City, Denver, Minneapolis, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, and Louisville, which were previously announced as stops on the tour. (Tickets for those shows went on sale to the general public on April 13.)

The post didn’t explain or even mention the canceled dates, and fans were quick to express their displeasure in the comments section: “Find it very strange that you would cancel the Sacramento concert and not give us a reason — you need to [sic] fix’s [sic] this now,” one wrote, while another said, “You kicked Minnesota off but you going to Wisconsin (thumbs down emoji)?”

According to Ticketmaster.com, venues for pre-existing dates include Memphis on Sept. 7 at FedExForum and Seattle on Aug. 12 at Climate Pledge Arena appear to be less than half-sold, while the strongest sales are coming from Los Angeles, where the majority of seats (excluding re-sale tickets) have already been filled.

Lil Baby has been one of the biggest breakout stars in the last five years, with much of the attention focused on his pandemic-era song “My Turn,” a smash that spent five weeks at No. 1 and also certified four times platinum, and ended up being the most consumed album of 2020.

His solo follow-up album, “It’s Only Me,” did not provide a similar number of smash songs, but it did premiere at No. 1 last autumn and was certified platinum.

Now Lil Baby’s tour will begin on July 26 at the Toyota Centre in Houston and will conclude on September 22 at the FLA Live Arena in Ft. Lauderdale.
