American rapper-songwriter Kanye West, now known as Ye, is set to make his long-awaited India debut with a headline performance scheduled for March 29 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi.
The landmark concert marks the first time the globally celebrated artist will perform in the country, promising an immersive live experience for fans. The show is expected to feature expansive staging, cinematic visuals, advanced acoustics, and a carefully curated setlist spanning his entire career — from early genre-defining hits to contemporary chart-toppers.
Born in Atlanta and raised in Chicago, West began his journey in music after leaving college to pursue production full-time. He first gained industry recognition working with Jay-Z at Roc-A-Fella Records, where his signature “chipmunk soul” production style earned widespread acclaim.
Transitioning from producer to recording artist, West released his debut album The College Dropout, which received critical praise and commercial success. Over the years, he has built one of the most influential careers in modern music, with multiple chart-topping albums and singles to his name.
