Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, Chicago concerts start tonight at Soldier Field
- On Thursday, Sept. 3, 2026, Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, returned to Chicago for his first hometown concert since 2021, surprising fans at Soldier Field by bringing out former G.O.O.D. Music protégé Big Sean.
- The reunion marks a public reconciliation for the pair, whose relationship soured in 2021 after Ye claimed Big Sean failed to support his 2020 presidential campaign and engaged in contract disputes.
- Sean joined Ye atop the globe-like stage to perform collaborations including "Clique" and "Mercy," while other guests including Future, Twista, and 2 Chainz appeared during the two-hour set.
- During the performance, Ye introduced Sean by saying, "Had to bring my homie from the D out," as the two exchanged expressions of mutual support and affection.
- The show continues Ye's stadium tour following backlash over his antisemitic remarks, with the Anti-Defamation League monitoring Soldier Field Thursday to ensure no hate symbols were displayed by the artist or fans.
