  "account": "Kanye West, known as Ye, has added three new U.S. stadium shows to his 2026 tour schedule. The concerts will take place in Dallas, Houston, and Phoenix before the year's end. Fans can sign up to receive tickets on the Yeezy website, as an on-sale date has not yet been announced.\n\nOn October 31, Ye will perform a Halloween show at Houston's NRG Stadium. A week later, he will play at Jerry's World in Dallas for a concert at AT&T Stadium. In November, Ye will headline State Farm Stadium in Phoenix. The tour also includes a return home for a pair of shows in Chicago at Soldier Field.\n\nIn October, Ye will travel to Indonesia for a show. This comes after West performed in Mexico for the first time in nearly two decades in January to kick off the year. Following the release of his album Bully in March, Ye played two shows at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, which generated $32.6 million in ticket sales across 149,000 tickets. However, backlash over West's controversies and hate speech prevented him from performing in London, France, Italy, Russia, and Poland this year. Despite these setbacks, West has managed to book select dates in the U.S., including shows in Tampa Bay, San Antonio, and New Orleans in 2026.",
