Why Are Future & Metro Boomin Canceling Tour Dates This Summer?

Future and Metro Boomin have nixed a handful of dates on the We Trust You tour.

Each summer, we anticipate the biggest tours to come to our city. However, it seems that for a few artists, the demand isn’t high enough. Apparently, that’s the case for Future and Metro Boomin, who are coming off of the release of two joint projects, We Don’t Trust You and We Still Don’t Trust You. The first boasts the hit single, “Like That” ft. Kendrick Lamar and sparked a wild feud between Drake and basically, everyone else who appeared on either of the projects.

Both Metro and Future have strong collaborators within trap music for the better part of the decade. Their combined stardom would’ve presumably been a shoo-in for sold-out crowds worldwide. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. According to Journal Sentinal, the two have officially nixed their August 2nd show in Milwaukee, along with several other dates, from the We Trust You tour. Here’s what we know so far.

Canceled Concerts & Refunds

Fiserv Forum released a statement late Wednesday afternoon confirming the cancellation of the Milwaukee concert. "Future’s concert scheduled for August 2 at Fiserv Forum has been canceled. If you purchased your ticket from the Fiserv Forum box office or online via Ticketmaster, refunds will be automatically processed and returned within 30 days," the statement read. Unfortunately, no additional information was provided regarding the reasons behind this decision.

Interestingly, the canceled Milwaukee concert was scheduled for the night before Future and Metro Boomin's planned performance at Lollapalooza, the mega music festival in Chicago. According to the tour's website, the Lollapalooza show is still on. This suggests that the artists are selective about which performances to cancel. If this were a one-off cancellation, perhaps, we’d be able to chalk it up to some sort of prior engagement or travel conflicts related to the two shows. However, Milwaukee isn’t the only city impacted by the recent decisions.
