Once again some Calgarians will speculate and be left with a case of arena envy.

Hip-hop star Kanye West has announced the dates for his upcoming Saint Pablo Tour and the city is noticeable once more by its absence.

West’s Western Canadian run will take him from Winnipeg’s MTS Centre on Oct. 12 to Edmonton’s brand spankin’ new Rogers Place on Oct. 15 before heading to the coast for an Oct. 17 Rogers Arena show.

For those wanting to take a road trip up north — it is a Saturday night in E-Town — tickets for the show go on sale this Saturday from livenation.com, and range from $29.50 to $149 (plus service charges).

It’s somewhat perfect timing — a Kanye and Ken King collabo? — as the debate over a new arena for the city has once again heated up with the Calgary Flames beginning to speak about their CalgaryNEXT Plan B proposal.

And for Calgary music lovers’ own Plan B, also announced on Tuesday was the fact that funk, soul and R&B dynamo Charles Bradley will be heading to town for a Sept. 22 MacEwan Hall show with his band The Extraordinaires.

Tickets for the concert, which is in support of Bradley’s new album Changes, are $35 (plus service charges) and go on sale Friday from livenation.com.
