Ye's Two St Petersburg Arena Shows Cancelled
Ye will not play two planned concerts at the Gazprom Arena in St Petersburg on 10 and 11 October. Moscow-based promoter Say Agency confirmed the cancellation in a message on Telegram. Billboard reported the update on 3 October, the most recent report among those verified for this story.
The promoter, the business that books a venue and organises a live show, said the concerts "will not be able to take place on the scheduled dates." It expressed "sincere regret" about the outcome. The post opened with the words "Friends, it is with sincere..."
Reuters also carried the organiser's confirmation, while Complex described the two October performances as officially cancelled. The reports agree on the central point. Both nights are off.
Doubt about the dates had been raised weeks earlier. On 24 August, Gazprom Arena stated it had not signed any contracts for stadium rent for the Ye event. It said there was no such agreement in place.
That venue statement came about six weeks before the planned shows. The two nights had been slated for 10 and 11 October at the same stadium. The promoter's October message has now confirmed they will not happen as scheduled.
For fans, this means the October weekend will need other plans. The statements reported so far give no new dates. They give no detail on tickets or refunds.
That information, if it follows, would normally come from the promoter or ticket seller. Anyone who booked travel for St Petersburg for those dates will now be waiting for that next update. Readers should look for direct updates from Say Agency or the official ticket provider.
Gazprom Arena is the St Petersburg stadium named in the listings and in the venue's own August statement. Say Agency is the Moscow-based company identified as the promoter behind the planned dates. Telegram is the messaging platform where it posted the cancellation note.
3 October sits a week before the first night that had been advertised for 10 October. The second night had been advertised for 11 October. The October confirmation is the later word, and it is the one that sets the current status.
