Kanye West Russia stadium shows officially cancelled after venue issues
Kanye West's two scheduled concerts at the Gazprom Arena in St Petersburg on October 10 and 11 have been officially cancelled.
Gazprom Arena refused booking
The stadium stated it never signed a rental agreement with the concert promoters. Organisers confirmed the event could not take place on its site because of this lack of contract.
Complaints led to cancellation
Venue officials acknowledged receiving complaints regarding West's past performance history before the dates arrived. The gig organisers expressed sincere regret in a Telegram post that the concerts will not happen on the scheduled dates.
Future plans remain unclear
The Moscow-based agency said it would issue an official statement about the project status soon. They have not yet announced new dates or alternative locations for the artist.
