Rapper Ye (you may know him as Kanye West) is set to play two concerts in St. Petersburg, Russia, in October
American rapper Ye, also known as Kanye West, will perform two concerts in St. Petersburg on October 10 and 11, 2026. Say Agency, the Russian firm organizing the shows, confirmed the news to the state-owned RIA Novosti. The concerts will take place at Gazprom Arena, which can hold about 80,000 people.
Tickets are on sale on the yerussia2026.ru website, with prices starting at 9,000 rubles and reaching 160,000 rubles for a VIP box; floor tickets cost 25,000 rubles.
As of publication, Say Agency’s website contained no information about the St. Petersburg concert.
Mash, a Russian Telegram channel, claimed that a contract had already been signed with the artist and that payment had been made.
Ye traveled to Moscow in 2024, attending events including the birthday celebration of Russian designer Gosha Rubchinskiy, with whom he collaborated. Reports at the time suggested the rapper would perform at Moscow’s Luzhniki Stadium, but the claim was never officially confirmed. The concert never took place.
