INDIANAPOLIS – Thousands of people found locked doors to the arena of Bankers Life Fieldhouse as they lined the streets of downtown in anticipation for Kanye West’s Saint Pablo Tour.
The 22-time Grammy winning artist announced the tour mid-June and planned to perform songs from his latest album, The Life of Pablo.
E! News reported the show was delayed due to a schedule sound check.
