Ye, the artist formerly known as Kanye West, sent fans into a frenzy during a recent concert in Seoul, South Korea, performing a career-spanning setlist that revisited his most iconic hits. The show, a collaboration with Ty Dolla $ign, offered a glimpse of what a potential full-fledged tour from the rapper could look like.
Ye Delivers a Nostalgic Setlist
The Seoul concert, held in early September, featured Ye digging deep into his discography, performing tracks that spanned his illustrious career. Fan videos from the event quickly circulated online, showcasing Ye’s energetic stage presence and the crowd’s enthusiastic response.
Tyler, the Creator Calls Out Ye’s Performance
A highlight of the evening came when Ye performed “On Sight,” the opening track from his acclaimed album Yeezus. However, Tyler, the Creator, who collaborated with Ye on the track, took to Instagram to playfully question Ye’s performance.
“N—a u was right there just say the words,” Tyler commented on a video Ye posted of the performance, garnering nearly 100,000 likes and sparking a wave of agreement from fans.
From Listening Parties to Potential Tour?
The Seoul concert marked a departure from the Donda listening parties Ye has been known for in recent years. Instead of a more passive listening experience, the Seoul show saw Ye delivering a high-energy performance reminiscent of his earlier tours.
This shift has fueled speculation among fans that a full-scale tour could be on the horizon. Ye is slated to perform in Haikou, China, on September 15th, and while this show won’t feature Ty Dolla $ign, it could offer further hints about Ye’s touring plans.
A Return to Touring?
If these recent performances are any indication, Ye appears poised for a significant return to touring. His last traditional tour, the Saint Pablo Tour, was cut short in 2016 due to exhaustion and personal struggles.
Following the release of his latest album, Donda 2, which debuted at number two on the Billboard 200, fans are eager to see Ye back on stage, delivering the electrifying performances he’s known for. Whether a full tour is imminent remains to be seen, but for now, fans can revel in the possibility and enjoy the glimpses of Ye’s musical genius on display in Seoul.
