Kanye West, Ty Dolla $ign Cancel ‘Vultures 2’ Listening Parties Due To “Time Constraints”
As music fans continue to await the arrival of Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign’s Vultures 2 album, it’s been announced that the pair will no longer be holding listening parties for their collaborative sequel.
According to Billboard, a source close to West shared that multiple events related to the album’s rollout have been nixed, including listening parties in Tampa, FL; Washington D.C.; Fort Lauderdale, FL; Pittsburgh, PA; Nashville, TN; and Charlotte, NC. However, Ye’s rep believes that those canceled dates will likely be replaced.
“We regret to report that due to the time constraints for Ye and Ty Dolla $ign to curate production and meet logistic requirements, the upcoming dates for the VULTURES 1&2 listening experience will need to be revisited at a later date,” read a statement from Amelie Arena in Tampa, FL, which was was slated to host a listening on April 14.
A now-broken link to Ticketmaster to purchase passes for the Washington, D.C., playback dubbed as a listening “experience” is also a remnant of the canceled run.
Initially scheduled to drop on March 8, Vultures 2, much like its predecessor, has been pushed back on multiple occasions, with few updates on when the project is expected to land. While the full album has yet to materialize, several records from Vultures 2 were leaked to social media last month, much to the delight of Ye and Dolla $ign loyalists.
Among these tracks were “River” featuring Young Thug and Leon Bridges, “Promotion” featuring Future, “Slide” featuring James Blake, “Field Trip” featuring Playboi Carti, Kodak Black, Lil Durk, and Don Toliver, “Worship” and “Everybody,” the latter sampling the Backstreet Boys 1998 hit single.
Last month, Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign performed at Rolling Loud California and are scheduled to headline a massive concert at the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt on April 21, with tickets available for purchase here.
