Amid India's ever-expanding music concert boom, Ye (formerly known as Kanye West) will headline his first-ever performance in India on March 29 at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi.

Ye's visit to India comes at a time when the country is witnessing some of the biggest musicians perform her including Linkin Park, who recently gave a power-packed performance at Lollapalooza India 2026 in January.

Recognised as one of the most influential artists of the 21st century, Ye has consistently reshaped the boundaries of music, design, and live production.

Across continents, his performances have evolved into large-scale cultural spectacles architecturally ambitious, sonically immersive, and visually monumental. Each show operates not merely as a concert, but as an environment built around sound, light, and emotion.

The India date marks the artist's long-anticipated debut for his Indian fans. As part of his ongoing global run of headline performances, the New Delhi show will bring that same international production standard to India to the capital city.

Kanye is known for many songs including 'I Wonder', 'Stronger', 'Gold Digger', 'Jesus Walks' and 'Black Skinheads' among other hits.

Audiences can expect expansive staging, cinematic large-format visuals, precision-engineered acoustics, and a career-spanning setlist that moves seamlessly from early era-defining anthems to contemporary classics. Conceived as an experience built around atmosphere and scale, the performance will be designed not merely to be watched, but to be felt.

"We wanted this show to feel monumental and it is," said Aman, founder of White Fox. "One night. One performance. The first time ever. We're making sure more fans have the opportunity to be part of what will be the biggest concert India has ever seen."

"India has reached a moment where our ambition, infrastructure, and audiences are aligned with the biggest global productions," said Sabbas Joseph, co-founder and director, Wizcraft International. He added, "A first-ever performance by Ye at this scale reflects how far India's live entertainment ecosystem has evolved and how ready the country is to host landmark events that resonate worldwide."

The event is organised by Whitefox, Plush Entertainment and Wizcraft, and tickets go live on February 18 at 4 pm exclusively on District by Zomato.
