AceShowbiz - Ye has revealed plans for two highly anticipated hometown performances in Chicago, scheduled for early September.
On Monday, June 15, Ye updated his official website with a series of upcoming tour dates, highlighting two consecutive shows at Chicago’s Soldier Field. These concerts are set for September 3 and September 4, with the stadium holding a capacity of 63,500 attendees.
This announcement marks Ye’s return to Chicago after nearly five years since his last local appearance, which was the Donda listening event in 2021.
Alongside the Chicago shows, a new date for San Antonio has also been added to the schedule. Additionally, Ye will perform in previously confirmed locations including Tampa, Spain, Portugal, and Albania in the coming months.
One notable performance will take place on July 11 at Air Albania Stadium in Albania. Typically accommodating 22,500 people, the venue will be transformed with a purpose-built temporary stadium designed to hold up to 60,000 guests for this event. This setup will feature the distinctive half-globe stage that Ye utilized during his comeback concerts in Los Angeles earlier this spring.
The Prime Minister's Office in Albania commented on the decision to host Ye’s concert, emphasizing the economic benefits. According to local news outlet BIRN, the event is expected to significantly boost tourism and contribute positively to the local economy.
Tickets for all upcoming shows, including the Soldier Field concerts, are currently available through Ye’s official website.
Fans looking to catch Ye live in 2026 should keep an eye on his tour schedule, which continues to expand with dates across various international locations.
