Ye Sets U.S. Rap Concert Attendance Record at AT&T Stadium

The show drew 83,000 fans and $18 million in revenue, with surprise appearances by Erykah Badu and Kid Cudi.

  • On Saturday, Kanye West, who legally changed his name to Ye, drew 83,132 fans to AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, setting a U.S. rap concert record with over $18 million in revenue generated in a single night.
  • This performance represents the third time this year Ye has broken his own attendance record, demonstrating the commercial viability of independently produced stadium tours without backing from traditional giants like Live Nation or AEG Presents.
  • Surprise guest Kid Cudi joined Ye onstage for reunion performances of "Father Stretch My Hands, Pt." and "Ghost Town," while Dallas native Erykah Badu performed a selection of her hits during the night.
  • Promoter IKON Presents confirmed the show as the highest-attended U.S. rap concert to date, establishing the viability of large-scale stadium tours managed independently rather than through major industry partners.
  • State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, will host Ye's next stadium date on November 21, with a newly announced Mexico City stop marking the tour's first expansion beyond the United States.
