Kanye West, the iconic music mogul known for his boundary-pushing career, is set to make a long-awaited return to Europe with a special one-night concert in the Netherlands. The 48-year-old rapper will perform at GelreDome in Arnhem on Saturday, June 6, marking his first European live show since 2014 and his first appearance in the Netherlands in over a decade.
The Arnhem show is expected to be the first stop of a limited European tour, with another concert scheduled in Reggio Emilia, Italy on July 18. Exact dates and additional stops are yet to be confirmed. Concert organizers have described the Arnhem event as a “rare and unmissable” experience, drawing comparisons to West’s memorable performance at GelreDome in 2012.
While West has not performed a full European concert in over 10 years, he did host listening parties for his Vultures albums alongside Ty Dolla $ign in 2023 and 2024. Fans eagerly await the chance to experience the rapper’s live energy once again.
In recent years, Kim Kardashian’s ex-husband has faced widespread backlash for antisemitic and racist remarks online, resulting in the loss of numerous business deals. Last month, West issued an apology in The Wall Street Journal, attributing his past behavior to bipolar disorder and a car accident. He emphasized that the apology was not financially motivated but intended to express his true feelings.
With his return to the stage, Kanye West’s European fans can look forward to a highly anticipated night of music, artistry, and spectacle, marking a new chapter in the rapper’s career.
