For the third time in two months, a major artist has canceled a big-time concert at Jannus Live.

Outkast's Big Boi has called off his concert that was scheduled for Sept. 3 at Jannus Live in St. Petersburg. This follows cancellations of shows by Grupo Mania on July 31 and Sean Paul on July 10.

The complete announcement:

No reschedule is planned at the moment. Refunds are available at point of purchase. Jannus Live will soon announce a replacement event on that First Friday before Labor Day.
