Jay-Z and Kanye West Reschedule 'Throne' Tour

The Jay-Z/Kanye West collaboration 'Watch the Throne' hits iTunes in a week (Aug. 8) and brick-and-mortars a week after that, but fans eager to see them in person will have to wait until late October to take in their live show, according to Pitchfork.

 

An earlier statement from Roc Nation explained that the re-routing would be due to overwhelming demand for the tour. Additional dates are expected and the pre-sale was supposed to begin Tuesday. The public sale will begin Aug. 8.

 

Jay-Z actually broke the news that the tour dates were being amended during a radio interview Monday on New York's Hot 97. As Angie Martinez was reading off the dates, Jay corrected her.

 

"That's an old list we had to push that back, because it was like, we tried to put it out in pre-order and all the lines got jammed," he told Martinez. "We pushed it back to really route it and put other dates on there. We'll probably put four New York dates there instead."

 

Scheduled to start in Detroit on Sept. 22, the two rap kings have pushed nearly 20 concerts ranging from Washington, D.C. (Sept. 29), Denver (Oct. 10) and Los Angeles (Oct. 19-20).

 

Several of the dates don't appear to have been re-scheduled yet, including Montreal (Sept. 25), Sacramento (Oct. 17) and Sunrise, Fla. (Nov. 14).
