Kanye West Announces Show Dates

Kanye West, has booked his first major show in the US in years. The rapper announced that he will play a concert at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium on 3 April, Variety reports. A release that went out to fans on Monday morning billed the show as his “only performance in Los Angeles”. Fans were directed to his website to pre-register for the show by pre-ordering his upcoming album, Bully.

“A few lucky pre-registrants will be selected to receive free tickets,” reads the announcement. Over the past few years, as Ye has made controversial remarks on social media and in interviews, his live performances have petered out. He performed in Mexico City earlier this year and played a handful of shows in South Korea and China back in 2024.

His last SoFi Stadium appearance was alongside Ty Dolla Sign at Rolling Loud in 2024 at a listening party for their joint venture Vultures 1. The upcoming Los Angeles show comes just months after Ye published an apology letter in the form of a full-page ad in The Wall Street Journal to address “those I’ve hurt”. He blamed his behaviour on untreated brain damage and mental illness.

“It does not excuse what I did, though. I am not a Nazi or an antisemite. I love Jewish people.” He also apologised to the Black community, writing, “I am so sorry to have let you down.” Bully is currently scheduled for release on 27 March.
