Kanye West, now known as Ye, is set to bring his ongoing Ye Live Concert Tour to Russia this fall. According to Russian concert promoter Say Agency and multiple local outlets, the rapper will perform two nights at Gazprom Arena in St. Petersburg on October 10 and 11, 2026, with tickets already on sale.
If both dates proceed as planned, the concerts could rank among the largest stops of Ye’s current world tour. Gazprom Arena can accommodate approximately 80,000 fans for concerts, giving the potential two-night attendance a combined capacity of around 160,000.

The newly announced performances continue Ye’s first major headlining tour in nearly a decade, following the Saint Pablo Tour in 2016. The trek supports his twelfth studio album, Bully, which arrived in late March 2026 and has fueled one of the biggest live productions of his career.
The tour launched with two sold-out nights at SoFi Stadium on April 1 and 3, drawing a combined 140,480 tickets and generating an estimated $33 million in gross revenue. Since then, Ye has performed at stadiums across Europe, North America and Asia, including Atatürk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul, GelreDome in the Netherlands, Dinamo Arena in Tbilisi, Metropolitano in Madrid, Estádio Algarve in Portugal and Central Stadium in Almaty.
Each show has centered around an elaborate globe-shaped stage and a career-spanning setlist that blends songs from Bully with fan favorites including “Father Stretch My Hands, Pt. 1,” “Can’t Tell Me Nothing,” “Mercy,” “Black Skinhead,” “Power,” “Blood on the Leaves,” and “Runaway.”
The announcement also arrives after a turbulent touring cycle. Several planned performances—including appearances in France, Poland, Italy, India, and the Wireless Festival in London—were canceled or blocked amid continued controversy surrounding Ye’s past antisemitic remarks. Despite those setbacks, the Kanye West has continued adding stadium dates in markets where promoters and venues have moved forward with the events.
Before arriving in St. Petersburg, the tour is scheduled to visit New Orleans’ Caesars Superdome on August 28, followed by two nights at Chicago’s Soldier Field on September 3 and 4. The current itinerary concludes at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in Jakarta on October 24.
