Chance the Rapper has postponed the fall arena tour on which he planned to embark this month in support of his debut album The Big Day. The Chicago star credited the decision to his desire to help raise his newborn second child, having regretted launching a tour shortly after the birth of his first child in 2015. “At this point as a husband and father of two I realize that I can’t make that mistake again,” Chance wrote on Instagram.

Chance will still perform as scheduled at three festivals (Life is Beautiful, iHeartRadio Music, and Miami Beach Pop) over the next three months, and at his hometown United Center on September 28, but the rest of his tour will now launch in January. Planned stops in Newark, Tampa, St. Louis, Tulsa, Omaha, Saint Paul, and Ottawa have not yet been rescheduled, but you can view the rest of the tour’s new schedule below.

Tickets for the rescheduled dates are currently available on Ticketmaster, where a brief look at several listings shows that many tickets remain available. It’s unclear whether lower-than-expected ticket sales played any role in Chance’s decision to focus this fall on his family, rather than hit the road. The Big Day debuted in July at No. 2 and has failed to produce any Top 40 singles.
