Kanye West live in Italy for a single date

Two years after the announcements, postponements and cancellations of a show in Reggio Emilia, Kanye West now finally seems set to perform in Italy for a proper concert. The rapper, who now goes by Ye and who in February 2024 played the Forum in Assago (here's our account) and the Unipol Arena in Bologna for the "listening party" with Ty Dolla $ign for the album "Vultures Volume 1" (here's our review), will be performing in our neck of the woods next summer. The date to mark on the calendar is 18 July 2026, when the RCF Arena in Reggio Emilia, the former Campovolo site, will host Kanye West's only scheduled Italian date for a full-scale concert. Tickets will go on sale on Ticketmaster from 10am on Monday 22 December.

Between Kanye West and the RCF Arena there's a history of announcements and cancellations going back to October 2023, when the stage for a big show by the rapper was being built on the former Campovolo site. For a short time a page had even been opened on TicketOne for ticket sales for a date initially set for 13 October and then moved to the following 20 October. After a confirmation and a further postponement, work had begun at the RCF Arena to dismantle the stage, and a few days later, on Monday 23 October 2023, the prefecture of the Emilian town had disbanded the committee for public order and safety tasked with handling every aspect of the event, which had been moved to 27 October, confirming that Ye would not be performing.
