The interactive 5K event will see country music fans run alongside some of their favourite artists.

Drake Postpones Manchester Show Due to ‘Travel Logistics’

The postponement cited an "unseen ferry schedule."

An “unseen ferry schedule” has gotten in the way of Monday night’s Drake concert in Manchester, England. The July 28 gig at Co-op Live, which was meant to be the third of a trio of concerts the rapper had scheduled at the arena, was called off on Sunday in an announcement posted on the venue’s website.

“Due to unforeseen ferry schedule and travel logistics, tomorrow’s performance in Manchester on July 28th has been rescheduled,” said the statement. “The good news is that Drake will now perform in Manchester on Tuesday, August 5th, and it’s set to be an unforgettable night. All tickets remain valid for the new date—we can’t wait to see you there!”
