K’naan will no longer open for the sold-out Maroon 5 concert on Nov. 20 at Texas Hall. Mike Tadesse, University Events assistant director, said the Somalian-born rapper will miss a few dates on his tour with Maroon 5, some of which fall on the scheduled UTA date. “Things happen, it’s the nature of the business,” Tadesse said. “Nevertheless, we know it’s going to be a great show.” Maroon 5 is working with University Events in booking another opener, and is in contract negotiations with a replacement performer, Tadesse said. “We’re excited to have who they feel is a comparable group,” he said. “We just got our contracts in and were going to finalize the deal before we announce the act.” Tadesse said he was sad about the loss of K’naan, an act he wanted to see, but doesn’t foresee students losing interest or desiring refunds. “Personally the draw has been for Maroon 5,” he said. “If we do have issues, we’ll address it at that point.” University Events is planning to release the name of the new opening act by the Monday.
