Chief Keef has postponed the Chicago concert scheduled as his first hometown performance in 14 years. Although he headlined Lyrical Lemonade earlier this year and in 2024, those appearances took place in Bridgeview, Illinois. The Huntington Bank Pavilion show, originally set for September 12, will now be held September 23, according to an announcement posted by the venue on social media about 30 minutes before its scheduled start.
The rescheduled date is part of Keef’s tour supporting his recent Skeletor mixtape. Live Nation said a travel delay prevented Keef from arriving in time to perform a full show before the pavilion’s curfew. In an Instagram story, Keef blamed a pilot who “got very racist” and allegedly canceled his flight, leaving the Chicago rapper to seek alternative transportation. A representative for Chief Keef did not immediately comment on the postponement.
“No I ain’t happy, yes I am upset,” Keef wrote. “I know all of you anticipated this just like me … And I’m sincerely sorry that this happened trust me.”
Keef’s tour continues tonight in Minneapolis, with additional stops planned in Detroit, Austin, New York, Los Angeles and other cities over the coming months. Since releasing Skeletor in April, he has also shared the one-off Katy Perry collaboration “Legendary Lovers (Save Me),” which marked the end of a longstanding Twitter feud.
