Looks like the only rapper who really matters these days, Kanye West, will perform at the Ford Amphitheatre in Tampa on May 5. (Yep, that's the night before Radiohead plays the same venue.)
I've received no official statement regarding West's "Glow in the Dark Tour" and the Tampa date isn't listed on Ticketmaster.com, but here's what appeared on MTV.com a couple hours ago:
Two weeks after Kanye West put a concert poster on his blog for the upcoming Glow in the Dark Tour, featuring Rihanna, Lupe Fiasco and N.E.R.D., his label, Def Jam, announced the dates Thursday (February 14) …
Glow in the Dark Tour dates, according to Def Jam Records [Here are the two Fla. dates]:
· 5/5 – Tampa, FL @ Ford Amphitheatre
· 5/6 – W. Palm Beach, FL @ Cruzan Amphitheatre
