Snoop Dogg has rescheduled his Manchester gig for a second time due to 'unforeseen circumstances', it has been announced. The news was shared on Monday afternoon (June 6), promising eagerly waiting fans that new dates are soon to be released.
The 'Drop it like it's hot' hitmaker was originally set to perform at the AO Arena on September 1, after his 2020 gig was rescheduled due to the Covid pandemic and restrictions. The rapper will continue with gigs across the USA, but has now pulled out of all ‘non-U.S.’ dates in his tour.
The announcement cited 'family obligations, filming commitments and unforeseen circumstances' as the reason for the cancellation.

“He was excited to see his fans around the world and apologies to all that had already made plans to see his show. He looks forward to rescheduling dates in the future. Ticket refunds will be available at the original point of purchase.
“Snoop Dogg is still committed to his remaining US tour dates for the rest of 2022. Thank you for your support and be safe out there ya’ll.”
The new dates are expected to be announced in the near future. Ticket holders have been told their tickets will be valid for the new dates.
