Simmons Bank Arena has not yet announced why the show was canceled. Even as recently as last Thursday, it was still being advertised on social media that a special $30 ticket sale would be held. Snoop Dogg's fans in Jacksonville, Florida, who are planning to attend his show later this month, may also have to wait a while longer for the event. The concert scheduled for the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena on Thursday, Aug. 10 was postponed. The postponement was announced Tuesday on ASM Global's social media accounts for JaxEvents, which runs the organization's events. "Due to circumstances beyond their control, the event organizer has postponed this event. We are working to reschedule this show and will announce the new date as soon as possible," the post read. 

It had been planned that Nelly and the Yin Yang Twins would be appearing with the legendary rapper who is celebrating the 30th anniversary of his landmark album, "Doggystyle," with a tour this year. The show was scheduled to take place during Snoop's High School Reunion Tour, on which he was set to perform with Wiz Khalifa, Too Short, Warren G, Berner & Special Guests DJ Drama. A massive 33-city tour produced by Live Nation kicked off on Friday, July 7, at Rogers Arena in Vancouver before making stops across the U.S. in cities such as Atlanta, Houston, and more before wrapping up on Saturday, Aug. 27 at the Irvine FivePoint Amphitheatre in California. Initially, tickets were available for sale as part of artist and Citi presales beginning on Tuesday, March 7th.
