Kanye West, now Ye, is crossing the Atlantic again and has chosen Madrid for one of the biggest concerts of summer 2026. On July 30, he will perform at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium, in what will be his only show in Spain as part of his European tour. The rapper lands in the capital two decades after his last visit to the country and does so in grand style, in a stadium with a capacity of more than 60,000 people, XXL production and a repertoire that will mix classics such as Power, Runaway and Only One with more recent material, including his most experimental phase.
The concert is part of a very limited European tour, with only a few dates confirmed in large venues in the Netherlands (GelreDome, Arnhem), Italy (RCF Arena, Reggio Emilia) and France, to which Madrid is now added.

To access the presale for the concert in Madrid, you must register on the specific website for the tour in Spain, Yemadrid.com, where fan data is collected and the advance purchase link is sent by email. The presale is set for March 10 at 10:00 a.m., while general sales will follow through the usual channels. Although the final prices have not yet been published, tickets for the European concerts already announced give a clue. In Reggio Emilia, for example,tickets range from around €125 to €659 plus fees, depending on the area of the stadium and possible VIP packages, so the range in Madrid is expected to be similar, with general seating, lawn seating, and premium options close to the stage.
Beyond the controversy that always surrounds Ye, his return to major European venues and his stop in Madrid represent a small milestone for the urban scene in Spain: rarely has a rap and urban music artist filled a soccer stadium in the capital on their own, and the fact that one of the tour stops is the Riyadh Air Metropolitano confirms the city’s role as a must-see stop on major international tours.
