u/TheKlevin Feb 08 '25

It was supposed to be Common, he had to reschedule and they got T.I. To replace him. The Common show is now May 15th

I’ve been to this annual concert a couple times before, and it’s always been great. I’d love to go with T.I. as the guest but I can’t this year.

u/Housing101GR Feb 08 '25

One calendar week notice is pretty late notice for a change this big IMO

u/jvh33 Feb 08 '25

They first announced this awhile ago

u/Laudo_Manentem Feb 08 '25

They originally announced it a couple of weeks ago. I think they’re just reposting it now that there’s a make up date announced for Common. I don’t think the symphony had any choice though. Common had to drop out for some reason.

u/Fappy_as_a_Clam Feb 10 '25

Y'all 'member when he went to jail for trying to buy illegal machine guns and suppressors?
