Beyonce was supposed to perform at the Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on August 3, 2023, as part of the US leg of her Renaissance World Tour. However, the performance has now been canceled due to scheduling and logistical issues, as stated in the press release by Acrisure on their official Twitter page.
The scheduling and logistical issue has also affected the Kansas City performance of the tour, which has been delayed to October 1, 2023, instead of its originally scheduled date of September 18.
Tickets for the canceled Pittsburgh show will be refunded by the ticketing vendors in the coming days, according to the cancelation tweet. For the Kansas City show, tickets purchased for the original date will be valid for the rescheduled date.
Beyonce fans respond to the cancelation and delay
Beyonce's Renaissance tour has been remarkably smooth in terms of having very little delays, aside from the just-announced ones.
Fans took to Twitter to respond to the cancellation of the Pittsburgh show. Some netizens deemed the cancelation to be suspicious, while others claimed the high ticket prices and consequent lack of ticket sales were the reasons for cancellation.
Fans also reacted to the change of dates and delay of the Kansas City concert, with some claiming it was expected.
