Iggy Azalea Cancels The Great Escape Tour: Report
by Jocelyn Vena
Iggy Azalea has reportedly canceled her The Great Escape Tour. An email was sent out to ticketholders on Friday (May 29) letting them know the news.
“The Iggy Azalea Great Escape Tour scheduled for this fall has been cancelled and refunds are available at point of purchase,” the email reportedly reads. “There will be a new tour planned around Iggy’s new record to be released in 2016 and we apologize for any inconvenience.”
A rep for the rapper had not responded to Billboard’s request for comment as of press time. No further details have been provided.
The tour had been slated to kick off Sept. 18 in San Diego. The tour’s cancellation comes just months after the rapper rescheduled the dates for the trek back in March “due to production delays.”
At the time she explained why she wanted to bump the original slate of tour dates. “It is bumped back because I am a psychopath. It is my first arena tour, so it’s a big undertaking and I’m doing a lot of the creative direction, which I do for everything,” she told 97.1 AMP Radio back in March. “It’s tough when it’s your first time working on an arena situation.”
