Update: Kanye West & Lady Gaga announce dates for North American tour
Update: In an interview with Jay Leno tonight, Kanye West announced he would be taking a career break. No word on what this means for his newly announced tour, but given the lack of an “official” announcement for the tour, we’d assume a postponement or cancellation is coming. That said, dates remain listed on Ticketmaster and Livenation.
While it may not be the best time to announce a new world tour, Kanye West has done just that. As we first reported last Friday, the Chicago rapper will finally team up with Lady Gaga for a much anticipated, long talked about North American co-headlining tour.
The trek, which is billed as “Fame Kills,” will be a three month affair, kicking off out west in early November. The duo will then make its way across Canada before hitting the east coast in December. Following some more Canadian dates, the tour will conclude in Dallas, TX on January 24th.
Pre-sale tickets will be available beginning Wednesday, September 16th, while the general on sale will start Saturday, September 19th. Hit Ticketmaster and Livenation for more info.

Why is he not comin to Kansas City anymore =(
Source?
word is, the upcoming tour got cancelled.
lol wtf. people are ridiculous. he’s kanye west, he does this shit all the time. regardless, he’s still one of the best rappers out there and i plan on getting a ticket to this tour regardless of lady gaga who is just awful, awful, awful.
Are there any pre-sale tickets available for Montreal and when would they be available?
Gustave i don’t discount Kanye’s talent. He did make some great hip hop albums. But I know a few people who were pretty full of themselves in pop culture and look where it got them: Ryan Leaf (former San Diego QB) oh and a little known man named George W. Bush.
All of you need to chill out. He acts like a fool to keep people talking about him, so what. The guy likes publicity. He still makes incredible music and is one of the most intriguing artist of the decade. Not trying to completely defend the guys actions but come on, if you know anything about hip hop you’d know that he’s made two of the greatest rap records of all time.
Seriously, love Lady Gaga, but I will NEVER buy a ticket to a Kanye concert. Good for him that he has someone that will most likely override the bad PR from his behavior.
I say boycott him for his behavior..West has got himself sitting way up on that everything is about me pestle.Self centered behavior shouldn’t be tolerated from any walks of life.Life doesn’t rotate around Mr.West and people should show him it doesn’t.You give respect where it is due.No matter what your opinions are, there is a time and place for it and it wasn’t last night.Mr.West lost a lot..
yeah if you guys never did another Kanye story again, i wouldn’t mind.
That would only immortalize him…Id rather him just get his ass beat for a good solid 10 or 15 minutes.
let’s hope he gets shot.
