Looks like Iggy Azalea won’t be selling out arenas, at least for now…
On Friday, ticket holders to the concert initially set to kick off in San Diego on Sept. 18 received the following email from AXS ticketing company:
“The Iggy Azalea Great Escape Tour scheduled for this fall has been cancelled and refunds are available at point of purchase…. There will be a new tour planned around Iggy’s new record to be released in 2016 and we apologize for any inconvenience.”
Azalea seconded that notion on Twitter:
As u may know, the tour is cancelled. I’m so sad and sorry to let my fans down…we’ll be back out on the road when the next album is done.

The cancellations don’t include Pittsburgh Pride, Ottawa Bluesfest, Québec Summer Festival, or Washington State Fair. Still coming to those!

The announcement comes shortly after the 24-year-old rapper postponed her tour in March for five months citing production delays. Azalea dished to AMP Radio’s Michelle & Booker on the pressure to deliver:
“I don’t want to have an average tour with a normal stage and this kind of thing. I want people to come and really feel they got their money’s worth…and they want to come back and tell their friends about it. So that’s the risk that I took and I hope people can still come.”
Other rumors claimed Azalea was struggling to sell out arenas. This cancellation sure doesn’t help her case. Luckily, fans of the “Pretty Girls” artist can still catch her during Pittsburgh Pride, Ottawa Bluesfest, Québec Summer Festival, and the Washington State Fair.
