Kanye West’s comeback campaign appears to be gaining momentum. The artist, now known simply as Ye, has announced a major performance scheduled for April 3 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
The show follows a successful two-night, sold-out run at Monumental Plaza de Toros in Mexico City, signaling renewed activity from the controversial rapper. Ye and SoFi Stadium confirmed the event Monday, noting it will be his only scheduled performance in Los Angeles and currently over 1 million people are in queue for tickets.
Presale tickets became available today at 10 a.m. local time, while general ticket sales will begin March 11 at 10 a.m. through Ticketmaster.
Ye’s public image took a significant hit in 2022 after he made a series of antisemitic remarks, which led to several business and industry repercussions, including his representation being dropped by Creative Artists Agency. Earlier this year, Ye attempted to address the controversy by publishing a full-page apology in The Wall Street Journal, attributing his past comments and behavior to struggles with bipolar disorder.
In 2024, Ye appeared outside SoFi Stadium during Rolling Loud, but the performance ended up being more of a listening session than a traditional concert. During that set, Ye and collaborator Ty Dolla Sign played their album VULTURES 1 over the speakers while walking around the stage, leaving some fans disappointed.
Shortly after issuing his public apology, Ye returned to the stage with performances in Mexico City, where his daughter North West also made an appearance. The rapper is also preparing to release Bully later this month, which will mark his first solo album in four years.
Despite recent controversies, Ye has continued to draw large crowds internationally. In 2024, he performed several sold-out shows across Asia, including a concert at Goyang Stadium in South Korea that generated approximately $3.17 million in revenue from 35,000 tickets, according to Pollstar Boxoffice.
