Ye, the artist formerly known as Kanye West, has postponed his scheduled concert in Marseille, France, until further notice.
The announcement came early Wednesday morning via a brief post on X, where Ye wrote: “After much thought and consideration, it is my sole decision to postpone my show in Marseille, France until further notice.”
The Marseille show was originally set for Thursday, June 11, 2026, at the Orange Vélodrome stadium as part of his ongoing 2026 world tour. No new date has been announced, and neither Ye nor his team has provided any details regarding ticket refunds or rescheduling procedures for fans who purchased tickets.
The postponement follows increased efforts by Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez and Marseille Mayor Benoît Payan, to ban Ye over concerns on hate speech and public order.
This is the latest adjustment to Ye’s international plans following a turbulent period that included a public apology in The Wall Street Journal in January and the release of his twelfth studio album, Bully, in late March.
Earlier this month, Ye was announced as headliner for the UK’s Wireless Festival in London, but the booking triggered widespread backlash from politicians, Jewish community groups, and the public due to his history of antisemitic statements. Major sponsors withdrew support, and the UK government ultimately barred him from entering the country, leading to the festival’s cancellation.
Domestically, Ye recently headlined two shows at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 1 and 3, which reportedly grossed around $33 million combined despite some technical difficulties. Those performances featured elaborate staging and included a live debut from his daughter North West.
Other European dates remain listed, including stops in Arnhem (Netherlands), Reggio Emilia (Italy), Madrid (Spain), and Algarve (Portugal), alongside previously announced performances in New Delhi (India), Istanbul (Turkey), and others. His team has promoted the tour with the tagline “See you at the top of the globe,” echoing the optimistic tone of his recent fan-directed message.
Ye’s career has long been defined by extraordinary artistic success intertwined with public controversy. From groundbreaking albums like The College Dropout, Late Registration, and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy to Yeezy fashion innovations, he remains one of music’s most polarizing yet commercially resilient figures.
His ability to sell out major venues and maintain strong streaming numbers demonstrates a loyal fanbase that has endured multiple storms. As he looks ahead to the remaining 2026 dates, Ye’s latest decision signals a desire to focus on the music and his connection with supporters while navigating the complexities of public redemption.
Whether this step helps repair his image or simply highlights the ongoing divide will likely become clearer in the coming months through performances and further public statements. For now, the artist appears determined to continue the tour on his own terms, telling fans he will see them “at the top of the globe.
