West

cultural

Kanye West, also known as Ye, was scheduled to perform two concerts in Saint Petersburg, Russia, on October 10 and November 11, 2026. The event faced legal and logistical challenges, including claims of no signed contract with the Gazprom Arena and no official application for approval, though the prosecutor's office found no signs of fraud in the actions of the organizer, Say Agency. Despite the cancellation, organizers stated that ticket refunds would be issued once funds were returned to them.
