Drake’s tour is off to a rocky start, much to the disappointment  of fans in Philadelphia. His show there Saturday night was postponed an hour after it was set to begin due to a mechanical problem, according to Philly.com.

“Due to the elaborate nature of tonight’s show and an unexpected technical issue, Drake’s ‘Would You Like A Tour’ concert at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia has been postponed until Wednesday, December 18th,” A spokesperson said in a statement. All ticket holders will get their second chance then.

This isn’t the first drama associated with the “Would You Like A Tour?” tour. Drake reportedly fired opening act Future after the rapper dissed Drake in a Billboard article, telling the mag, “Drake made an album that is full of hits, but it doesn’t grab you. They’re not possessive; they don’t make you feel the way I do.”

It’s all good between them now, though. Tonight they’ve moved on together to Montreal, where Drake’s Canadian home court advantage will hopefully bring some better luck.
