Rapper Kanye West, also known as Ye, is slated to perform two concerts in St. Petersburg, Russia, in October 2026, according to Say Agency, the event organizer. The concerts are scheduled for October 10 and 11 at the Gazprom Arena, which can accommodate around 80,000 spectators.

As of now, there is no information about the St. Petersburg event on Say Agency's website. According to Mash, a popular Russian Telegram channel, a contract has been finalized with the artist, and payment has been made. Ye visited Moscow in 2024 to attend various events, including a birthday celebration for Russian designer Gosha Rubchinskiy, with whom he had previously collaborated.
It was initially reported that the rapper would perform at Moscow's Luzhniki Stadium; however, this claim was never officially confirmed. In contrast, the concert in St. Petersburg is set to take place at Gazprom Arena.
