Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has expanded his summer tour schedule with additional U.S. dates. The artist will perform in Chicago for two nights and has added a stadium show in San Antonio. These newly announced performances are part of his ongoing global tour, which includes upcoming stops in the U.S. and Europe.
Ye has revealed new U.S. tour dates, adding to his global performances scheduled for this summer. The artist will return to Chicago for two shows at Soldier Field on September 3 and September 4. Additionally, a concert celebrating America's independence is slated for July 4 at the Alamodome in San Antonio.
Ticket information for these newly announced dates is not yet available, but fans can register on Ticketmaster and Ye's official website for updates. Ye has previously hosted listening events at Soldier Field, including a "Vultures" listening event in 2024 and a "Donda" event in 2021.
