Sexyy Red cancels Fiserv Forum concert in Milwaukee

A day after the Milwaukee Brewers announced that Sexyy Red would throw out the ceremonial first pitch at Sunday’s game at American Family Field, the rapper has canceled her appearance in Milwaukee, scheduled for Monday at the Fiserv Forum.

Red’s “Sexyy Red 4 President” tour stop at the Milwaukee Bucks arena on Sept. 9 — with Kodak Black, Hunxho, Loe Shimmy and BlakeIANA! opening — has been canceled “due to unforeseen circumstances,” according to the event page on the arena’s website. A show at the Armory in Minneapolis this Saturday has also been canceled, according to Ticketmaster, with tickets still on sale for shows scheduled for Thursday, Friday, Tuesday and other dates in September and October. Billboard reported last month that she had quietly canceled some dates.

Social media observers have commented on the seemingly low ticket sales for Red’s first arena tour. Red stressed on social media that fans were buying tickets and that the tour would not be canceled.

When the Journal Sentinel checked in July, the vast majority of seats were available for the Milwaukee date, with the upper bowl blocked off, according to a Ticketmaster seating chart. This month, there were fewer seats left, but plenty were still available.

Now that the St. Louis native is no longer performing in Milwaukee, it’s unclear whether she would still throw out the first pitch during Sunday’s Brewers game against the Colorado Rockies. The Journal Sentinel has reached out to a Brewers publicist for an update.

Red, who played to a near-capacity Eagles Ballroom at Rave last November, isn’t the only major arena tour to ditch Milwaukee plans this year. Bryan Adams, the Black Keys, Keith Sweat and Future with Metro Boomin are among the artists who have canceled their 2024 Fiserv Forum shows.

Anyone who purchased a ticket for Sexyy Red’s cancelled show through the Fiserv Forum or Ticketmaster box office will automatically receive a refund within 30 days.
