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!”

Drake was already set to perform again at Co-op Live on Aug. 4, so his return to Manchester will now be a two-night run. In between his July and August Manchester concert dates he’ll perform in Amsterdam.

The shows are a part of his summer tour with PARTYNEXTDOOR., dubbed $ome $pecial $hows 4 UK.

Earlier this year Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR released $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, their collaborative album that reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and No. 3 on the U.K. Official Albums Chart. It marked Drake’s 14th No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and PARTYNEXTDOOR’s first.

This week in Drake news brought new track “Which One” with Central Cee, which made its official premiere during the second episode of Drake’s Iceman stream — following Drake’s recent three-night headlining run at Wireless Festival, where Central Cee made a guest appearance.

The Curtain Finally Rises on Taylor Swift’s ‘The Life of a Showgirl’: Stream It Now

The project was produced by Max Martin and Shellback and features Sabrina Carpenter on its title track.

It’s showtime! Taylor Swift‘s The Life of a Showgirl has finally arrived after months of buildup, complete with 12 new songs.

Released on Friday (Oct. 3) and produced entirely by the pop star, Max Martin and Shellback, the album finds Swift looking back on her past two years of life — which she largely spent on the road on her global Eras Tour. On “Father Figure,” she interpolates George Michael’s 1987 hit of the same name, and on title track “The Life of a Showgirl,” Sabrina Carpenter joins her for their first official duet since touring together last year.
