Drake's Would You Like A Tour is not off to a great start. Last night the "Hold On, We're Going Home" rapper postponed the tour's second show in Philadelphia one hour after it was expected to begin.

According to Philly.com, concertgoers had already been admitted into the Wells Fargo Center on Saturday night (Oct. 19) and were then told that Drake would not be performing that night shortly before 8:30 p.m. The concert was slated to begin at 7 p.m.

It seems as though the show was not able to go on due to Drizzy's crew getting into Philly late, and thus being unable to properly set up the elaborate stage design, making it unsafe for the performers. Wells Fargo Center spokeswoman Rebecca Goodman echoed these sentiments in a statement: "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 18."

All original tickets for the show and parking receipts will be honored at the new Dec. 18 date.

This is not the first time that Drake's Would You Like A Tour has experienced troubles. The trek was delayed three weeks due to intense rehearsals and the technical stage set ups, according to Billboard, and Drizzy was forced to cancel his stops in Saskatoon, Winnepeg, and Cleveland.

Moreover, Future was nearly booted from the tour after making disparaging comments toward Drake and his latest album Nothing Was The Same in an interview with Billboard associate editor Erika Ramirez, who tweeted the following quote from the rapper: "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." Since the short feud, the two rappers have since made up.

The Would You Like A Tour will continue Monday, Oct. 21, in Montreal.
