Ye to headline one-night concert at SoFi Stadium
Controversial rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, will headline a rare show at Inglewood's SoFi Stadium next month.
“Ye: Live in Los Angeles” will take over the venue at 7 p.m. on April 3. It’s billed as Ye’s “only performance in Los Angeles.”
The rapper is set to release his new album, “Bully,” on March 27, and the show appears to coincide with the album's release.
West’s website urged fans to “sign up and pre-save ‘Bully’” to complete their pre-registration for a chance to buy tickets to the SoFi Stadium show. The site said “a few lucky pre-registrants” would be selected to receive free tickets.
Tickets for Kanye’s LA concert
Ticket presales began on Tuesday via Ticketmaster. As of 4 p.m. Tuesday, tickets were starting at around $715.
General ticket sales begin at 10 a.m. Wednesday, March 11.

SoFi Stadium seating
SoFi Stadium, which is home to the Los Angeles Rams and Chargers, seats approximately 70,000 people. According to the venue’s website, capacity is “expandable up to 100,000.”
SoFi Stadium will host eight upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026 matches this June and July, Super Bowl LXI on Feb. 14, 2027, and the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics and Paralympic Games.
The Ye backlash
Ye has faced backlash over antisemitic comments since 2022. In a full-page ad published in “The Wall Street Journal” earlier this year, he apologized for his “reckless” comments, attributing his behavior to an undiagnosed brain injury and mental health issues.
West’s concerts have been far and few between in recent years.
He performed two shows in Mexico this past January.
The last time he headlined Los Angeles was at the Rolling Loud California festival in March 2024. However, West famously didn’t deliver much by way of vocals at that event; it was more of a “listening experience” alongside Ty Dolla $ign for their album, “Vultures 1.”
West is currently being sued in Los Angeles by a contractor who claims the rapper didn’t fully pay for work done on his Malibu home. The verdict on that case is expected to be announced Wednesday.
