It has been pushed until November/December
The recently announced Nicki Minaj tour has been postponed by promoters Live Nation, who are blaming international scheduling conflicts.
The promoters say that the arena tour, originally slated for September - October, will now take place November - December, with specific dates to be finalised soon.
A statement today read, "We are working to bring Nicki Minaj back to Australia, and to NZ for the first time, and will advise more news as soon as possible."
In the statement Live Nation, which is being run by Michael Coppel in Australia, said fans should be "reassured" that Minaj will tour this year.
