AceShowbiz - On September 5, 2026, North West took center stage for her first solo concert, held at The Vic Theatre in Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood. The 13-year-old artist’s debut performance was met with enthusiastic support from her parents, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, who attended separately and cheered her on from the crowd.

North West opened her set with the sound of Lil Uzi Vert’s introduction, “Hello Northie!” and delivered a dynamic show featuring tracks from her N0rth4evr EP. She also performed songs from her collaborations, including “Talking,” featured on her father’s 2024 album Vultures alongside Ty Dolla $ign.

This milestone concert came just one month after the cancellation of the planned 14-date Molly x North Kimokawaii tour, which was scheduled to launch on August 5 with rapper Molly Santana. Despite the tour’s cancellation, fans showed up in full force to support North West at her Chicago debut.

Video clips captured by attendees showed Kanye West nodding along and recording the performance, while Kim Kardashian enthusiastically cheered and filmed from another part of the venue. Both parents later shared moments from the event on their Instagram Stories, with Kanye West expressing his pride by adding “SO PROUD” over a performance video.

North West also took to social media to thank her fans for their support, expressing that performing live is what she feels destined to do. Earlier in 2026, she signed with independent music company Gamma, overseen by former Apple executive Larry Jackson. This company also partnered with Kanye West on his 12th studio album, Bully.

The successful debut marks an important step in North West’s musical journey, showcasing her talents on a significant stage in her father’s hometown and highlighting the strong backing from her famous family.
