It seems like artists are having trouble getting their tours started these days. Recently, M.I.A. had visa problems and the Game had trouble getting into Mexico because he didn't want people searching his bags. Dizzee Rascal was arrested a few weeks ago for carrying pepper spray, jeopardizing his upcoming tour of North America. We reported a few weeks ago that the Salt Lake City date might be postponed because he is schedule to appear in court that day-- in London. However, neither that show nor any other stops have been changed thus far.

On his official site, Mr. Rascal wrote: "I thought I'd just let you all know that I will be performing at all the dates on my forthcoming U.S and Canadian Showtime Tour. See you all there.. Diz." I'll be there, Diz.

Dizzee Rascal has appeared on this side of the world before, but this will be his first full headlining tour of North America. The fun begins tomorrow in Vancouver.
