Ye announces first live show in Spain in 20 years with huge Madrid stadium date
The rapper will perform at Riyadh Air Metropolitano on July 30, with remaining tickets going on sale this week
Ye has announced his first live performance in Spain in nearly two decades, with a massive stadium show set to take place in Madrid this summer.
The artist will headline the Riyadh Air Metropolitano on July 30, 2026, marking a rare European appearance from one of hip-hop’s most influential figures.
Presale tickets for the event opened at 10AM on Tuesday, March 10, with 85% of tickets selling out within hours. The remaining 10,000 tickets will be released for general sale on March 12 at 10AM CET via the event’s official website.
The show is expected to feature a large-scale production combining music, visual art and immersive staging. Ye’s live performances have long been known for pushing the boundaries of the traditional concert format, blending dramatic lighting, conceptual visuals and ambitious stage design.
Across a career spanning more than two decades, Ye has won 24 Grammy Awards and sold over 160 million records worldwide. He is widely recognised for reshaping the sound and scope of hip-hop while also influencing global culture across music, fashion and visual art.
The Madrid event is being produced by 515 Entertainment, the Mexican promoter behind Ye’s recent concerts at La Monumental Plaza de Toros in Mexico City. Those shows sold more than 70,000 tickets across two consecutive nights within hours.
Following the success of those performances, 515 Entertainment, led by promoter Andrés Charvel, will bring the production to Spain in collaboration with local partners Vibra Music and Roller Group, who will act as promoters for the Madrid date.
The event offers fans a rare chance to see one of contemporary music’s most innovative performers on a stadium scale.
The remaining tickets will go on general sale on March 12 at 10AM CET.
