Following a series of postponements, Kanye West will resume his tour in Philadelphia on November 16th. West has rescheduled shows for Chicago, Toronto and Detroit, and canceled several others 'due to routing logistics,' according to a press release. The cancellations are in Vancouver; Denver; Columbus, Ohio; Montreal; Minneapolis and St. Louis. An updated list of tour dates is below.

Although the tour got off to an impressive start when it launched in Seattle last month, the trek got derailed when the second date of the tour, scheduled for Vancouver, was postponed. Shortly after that, West announced his engagement to Kim Kardashian. He later postponed an Anaheim date. And on Halloween, he announced that because a truck carrying some crucial gear for the tour had been in a wreck, he had to postpone more dates. The gear, claimed a press release, was 'central to the staging of the tour and central to the creative vision put forth by Kanye West and his design team.' Moreover, it read, 'Kanye West will not compromise on bringing the show as it was originally envisioned and designed to his fans.'
Kendrick Lamar will provide support on all dates except November 20th and November 24th. Those will feature A Tribe Called Quest, who have announced that those will be the group's last shows ever.
