Iggy Azalea apparently has something fancy planned for her first arena headling tour -- so fancy, in fact, she had to delay all her shows to accomodate production, including her April 30 concert at Target Center. The new date for Minneapolis fans will be Oct. 1, a Thursday night just like the postponed gig. Tickets to the original date will be honored at the makeup show. However, opening acts Nick Jonas and Tinashé are no longer scheduled to join the "Fancy" hitmaker on tour. New openers will be named later.

Here's how a press release from Azalea's handlers explained the delay:

"Tour dates for Grammy-nominated Iggy Azalea's The Great Escape Tour, have been rescheduled due to tour production delays. To accommodate for creative team availability and tour production plans, it was determined that the tour will not be ready this Spring. It is extremely important to Iggy that she delivers the show she envisaged to share with her fans and that requires more time in development."
