Kanye West announces comeback show in Los Angeles
Kanye West has announced that he’ll be returning to the stage in the US next month.
The Chicago rapper has revealed that he’ll be performing at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 3rd, marking his first American show in years.
The concert will take place shortly after the release of his new album, Bully, which is scheduled to arrive on March 20th.
Billed as Ye’s “only performance in Los Angeles,” pre-sale tickets will go on sale at 10am on March 10th. Then, general sale tickets are set to go live on March 11th.
The upcoming event will be Kanye’s first US stadium concert since 2021’s Free Larry Hoover benefit show. Kanye has struggled to book shows in recent years following his antisemitic remarks, which began in 2022.
His outbursts resulted in losing partnership deals with Adidas, Gap, Balenciaga, and Universal Music Group, with venues taking the same approach.
Ye recently performed two sold-out shows in Mexico City, with an Italy show at RCF Arena in Reggio Emilia booked for July 18th.
The rapper’s upcoming album is set to be released through the independent music company, Gamma, containing 13 songs. A press release stated that the project will find Kanye wrestling with “remorse, memory, ego, faith, and consequence” and “using music as storytelling rather than defence.”
Speaking on the sound of the album in 2025, he said, “This is more the way I remember Lauryn Hill[‘s] album, the way I remember Miseducation. I feel it is my Miseducation. It is my Gnarls Barkley album. Because Bully has a title and connotation that a lot of people are anti-bully. But I’m just hyper-next-level frequency right now.”
