We’ve got good news for Azealia Banks fans. The rapper just booked a brief U.S. headline outing to make up for the co-bill tour with K. Michelle that was canceled at the end of July.

K. Michelle cited a bevy of other commitments in a statement explaining the cancellation. She wrote on Facebook, “While currently filming numerous television shows, readying my businesses and working on my new album, I simply cannot overexert myself anymore than I already am.”

Several cities on the original co-bill routing are on Banks’ new itinerary. Philadelphia, New York, D.C., Nashville, Atlanta and Houston will receive a visit from Banks after all. 

While some cities haven’t changed, the same can’t be said about the venues. Banks seems pretty excited about the move from New York’s Best Buy Theatre to Terminal 5.

“I’ve been DYING to play Terminal 5 since i was 17 years old!!!!!!!!!! yaaaaay!!!!!” she tweeted.

Banks has also booked shows in Santa Ana, Austin and Dallas. Here’s the routing, which follows her appearance at San Francisco’s Treasure Island Music Festival.
