Kanye West’s SoFi Stadium Concert Draws Over One Million to Ticketmaster Queue
Kanye West is set to return to the stage in Los Angeles for a one-night performance at SoFi Stadium on April 3, 2026, marking his first show in the city since 2021. The demand for tickets proved immense, with over one million people entering the Ticketmaster queue when artist presales began on Tuesday, March 10 [1].
Ticket Sales and Availability
The general sale commenced on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, at 10 a.m. Local time via Ticketmaster [1]. Fans who registered on Yelosangeles.com and pre-saved Ye’s upcoming album, BULLY, were entered into a draw for a chance to win free tickets [1].
Recent History and Apology
West’s performance at SoFi Stadium follows a recent sold-out two-night engagement at Monumental Plaza de Toros in Mexico City. The Inglewood concert is being billed as the artist’s only Los Angeles performance [1].
The artist’s public image faced challenges after making antisemitic remarks in 2022, leading to the termination of his relationship with Creative Artists Agency. In January 2026, Ye published a full-page apology in the Wall Street Journal, attributing his previous statements to his bipolar disorder [1].
Past Performances and Upcoming Album
Prior to his Mexico City shows, Ye performed at Rolling Loud California in Inglewood in March 2024, which served as a listening session for his album VULTURES 1 [1]. He is preparing to release his new album, BULLY, later in March 2026 [1]. In 2024, West also completed sold-out shows in Asia, including a performance in South Korea that grossed $3.17 million from 35,000 tickets [1].
Legal Matters
On March 6, 2026, West testified in court as part of a renovation lawsuit involving a former Malibu mansion purchased in 2021 [1]. According to reports, he appeared to struggle to stay awake during the proceedings [1].
