Ye is set to take over the U.K.'s biggest music festival this summer.
On Monday, March 30, Wireless Fest announced that the artist formerly known as Kanye West will headline all three days of the music festival. The event is going down at London's Finsbury Park from July 10 to July 12. As of this report, there are no confirmed details about his three sets or what he'll perform. If they're anything like his past shows around the globe, fans can expect to see him deliver new songs off his latest album, BULLY, and possibly belt out some of his classic hits.
Ye finally delivered the anticipated album this past weekend. BULLY has 18 tracks, including collaborations with Travis Scott, Ty Dolla $ign, CeeLo Green, André Troutman, Don Toliver, and Peso Pluma. It's Ye's first solo project to drop via gamma after he inked a fresh record deal with Larry Jackson's label. He debuted the album last week at a massive listening session for thousands of fans at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. Other listening sessions were held around the world simultaneously, but Ye personally attended the show in L.A.
Some fans noticed that Ye's closing set at Wireless Fest will go down on the same three days as JAŸ-Z's shows at Yankee Stadium in New York City. Hov previously announced three concerts celebrating the 30th anniversary of his debut album, Reasonable Doubt, and the 25th anniversary of his critically acclaimed album, The Blueprint, and an "Extra Innings" show where anything will go.
The two former collaborators have yet to publicly acknowledge one another since Ye targeted JAY-Z and his family in his offensive rants last year. With artists hitting the stage on the same week, fans in attendance (and those watching clips at home) are guaranteed to experience a historic day in hip-hop history.
Presale tickets for Wireless Fest begin today with its 48-hour PayPal presale. The Wireless presale officially kicks off Tuesday, April 7, at 12 p.m., followed by the general onsale beginning on April 8 at 12 p.m. Look out for the full lineup coming soon.
