The Toronto concert curse lives on.

Lil Wayne was set to play at Toronto’s Budweiser Stage tonight (Aug. 11) for his Tha Carter VI tour before the show was unexpectedly postponed.


At around 8 p.m., almost two hours after the doors opened and an hour before the rapper was set to take the stage, Budweiser Stage announced that the show would no longer be taking place in a message displayed onscreen at the venue and posted on its Instagram story.

“Due to unforeseen illness, Wayne’s Toronto show tonight will be postponed," the statement reads.

"As his fans know, he loves putting on nothing short of the best performances for those who come out, and he was so excited for this one. Please stay tuned for the new date coming soon.”

A new date has not yet been confirmed. The tour is scheduled to continue on Aug. 16 in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio.

‘I’ve Always Had A Special Love for Toronto’: 6 Best Moments From Dua Lipa at Scotiabank Arena

The British pop star returned to the city for the first time since 2022, taking over one of the country’s biggest arenas for the first of two shows — and she commanded the stage with ease.

Dua Lipa has returned to Toronto.

In 2022, the British pop star performed at Scotiabank Arena for two nights in 2022, supporting her sophomore album Future Nostalgia. While it ended in multiple injuries from unauthorized fireworks, it was a welcome upgrade from Lipa’s 2018 show at the now-defunct Echo Beach. Three years later, she’s taking the same arena stage with new material.
