Kanye West to Play SoFi Stadium Show In Major Booking After Antisemitism Backlash

Kanye West will headline a one‑night concert at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium on April 3, marking his first major U.S. show since a series of antisemitic remarks sparked industry backlash. Ticket sales open Wednesday at 11 a.m., with Mainstay Touring handling promotion after previous agencies dropped him. The rapper issued a Wall Street Journal apology citing untreated bipolar disorder and announced his new album Bully for March 20, released through independent label Gamma. Despite the controversy, West remains a streaming powerhouse, ranking tenth on Spotify’s 2025 U.S. year‑end list with nearly 70 million monthly listeners.
