Change of Venue for Kanye West Show

The venue for Kanye West's Beijing show has been changed again. As we reported earlier, the show was originally planned to take place at Fengtai Stadium on Sep 25 and then later, with a guarantee of "100-percent certainty" from organizers China West, was moved to Nov 1 at the Wukesong Olympic Basketball Gymnasium. The latest news is that the show will still take place on Nov 1 but at the Workers’ Stadium Workers Gymnasuim not the Wukesong Stadium.

Before Kanye makes it to the Olympic boxing venue, Cantopop star Eason Chan will perform at the nearby Workers Stadium on Sep 28 and Linkin Park will also perform there on Oct 19. Other big acts coming to town in the coming weeks include Avril Lavigne on Oct 6, Diana Krall on Oct 12, Goldie at Yugong Yishan on Oct 25 and DJ Shadow is also supposed to be coming in November.
