Global hip-hop icon and 24-time Grammy winner Kanye West, now professionally known as Ye, is set to perform in India for the first time. The groundbreaking announcement has sent shockwaves through the Indian music scene, marking a major milestone in the country’s growing stature as a destination for world-class stadium tours.
The “Stronger” rapper will take over New Delhi’s Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on March 29, 2026.
The “Statement” Event
Promoters shared the news via the official District Instagram handle with a bold message: “India. It’s time. Ye live 29 March | Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, New Delhi. This is not a show. This is a statement.” At 48, Ye continues to be one of the most influential figures in music history. Fans can expect a career-spanning setlist featuring legendary hits such as:
- Through the Wire
- Stronger
- Heartless
- Runaway
Venue and Date Details
- City: New Delhi
- Venue: Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium
- Performance Date: March 29, 2026
Will There Be a Mumbai Show?
While the announcement sparked immediate “fan frenzy,” it also left fans in Mumbai and Southern India feeling sidelined. Currently, only the Delhi date has been confirmed. However, looking at past tours—such as Travis Scott’s recent visit where a Mumbai date was added after the initial Delhi announcement—there remains a glimmer of hope that more cities might be added to the itinerary.
