UPDATE: After announcing his “only performance in Los Angeles” for April 3 at SoFi Stadium, Ye, the artist formerly known as Kanye West, has announced another show at the venue slated for April 1. Pre-sale for the April 1 date begins on March 12 at 10 a.m. PDT, followed by general sale on March 13 at 10 a.m. PDT.
On Monday, Ye revealed that he had booked his first major show in the United States in years with his April 3 concert at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium. A blast 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-saving his upcoming album, “Bully.” “A few lucky pre-registrants will be selected to receive free tickets,” read the site.
Over the past few years, Ye has continuously made antisemitic remarks on social media and in interviews as his live bookings have slimmed. He performed in Mexico City earlier this year and played a handful of shows in South Korea and China dating back to 2024. His last SoFi Stadium appearance was alongside Ty Dolla Sign at Rolling Loud in 2024, though it was less of a performance and more of a listening party for their new album “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 credited his antisemitic behavior to 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 apologized to the Black community, writing, “I am so sorry to have let you down.”
Ye is gearing up for the release of his new album “Bully,” which he released via different full-length versions of a film in March 2025. The finished album has been delayed several times and is currently scheduled for release on March 27.
