Lil Baby‘s “It’s Only Us” tour, scheduled to kick off on July 26 in Houston, has experienced setbacks with several canceled tour dates leading up to the anticipated start. Alongside Lil Baby, the tour features other talented artists such as The Kid LAROI, GLoRilla, GLOSS UP, Rylo Rodriguez, and Hunxcho.
The speculation surrounding the tour cancellations arose from a recent Twitter post highlighting the possibility of low ticket sales being the reason behind the cancellations. Twitter users expressed their thoughts on Lil Baby canceling shows and raised concerns about the high ticket prices associated with the tour.
Some fans took to social media to voice their opinions, suggesting that choosing arenas for the tour may have been a misstep, potentially affecting ticket sales. The comments reflect the perceived disconnect between the ticket prices and Lil Baby’s current standing in the industry.
@BrownRapFan kicked off the discussion, suggesting the reason for the low ticket sales saying, “The tour promo was horrible 2. He’s not big enough to headline and arena tour 3. The ticket prices are insane.”
Another fan suggested that Lil Baby is just not big enough to sell out arenas. @WowThatsHipHop jokingly remarked, “Whoever decided ARENAS was a good idea for Lil Baby just performed the most evil set up to ruin his career lol wtf.”
While Lil Baby has been hailed as one of the biggest names in hip-hop, @DapperDomo
suggested the Atlanta rapper’s team may need a reality check when it comes to gauging their true fanbase and ticket sales potential.. The tweet read, “Rappers specifically but musicians in general have let streaming numbers trick them into thinking that they are bigger than they actually are.”
The tour has already canceled shows in Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, Louisville, Salt Lake City, and Denver, further fueling the speculation surrounding ticket sales. Lil Baby and his team have not yet addressed the specific reasons for the cancellations, leaving fans to speculate on social media platforms.
Lil Baby is not the only artist embarking on a tour this summer, as other prominent names like Beyoncé, Drake and 21 Savage, and Trippie Redd are also set to perform for their fans across the country. The summer touring season is in full swing, with various artists bringing their music to audiences nationwide.
Charlotte rapper DaBaby faced a similar issue in late 2022 when he had to cancel a New Orleans show and several others due to low ticket sales. The challenges with ticket sales have been experienced by multiple artists in the industry, indicating the complexities of concert planning and fan demand.
