After years of on stage absence, Kanye West, has booked his first major show at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium on April 3.
Touting the show as his “only performance in Los Angeles,” on Monday (3.09) a press release went out to fans who were directed to his website to pre-register for the show by pre-ordering his upcoming album, Bully.
“A few lucky pre-registrants will be selected to receive free tickets,” read the announcement.
Following a litany of controversial comments via social media and in interviews, the embattled musician’s live shows came to a halt, notwithstanding a Mexico City performance earlier this year and a handful of 2024 shows in South Korea and China.
West’s last SoFi Stadium appearance was alongside Ty Dolla Sign at Rolling Loud in 2024 at a listening party for their joint venture Vultures 1.
The 48-year old rapper/writer’s LA gig comes just months after Ye published a full page apology advertisement letter in The Wall Street Journal to address “those I’ve hurt,” and blaming his behavior on 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 apologised to the Black community, writing, “I am so sorry to have let you down.”
