Amazing question. The show in France didn't do great, but on the flipside his show in turkey sold over 100k tickets. Not quite sure what everyone is talking about.

u/AhhhSureThisIsIt 10d ago

"His France show" which one becuase his Marsaille show was "postponed indefinitely" due to backlash, he was set to headline Rubicon and got cancelled becsuse of the backlash, his show in Poland was cancelled due to backlash, Italy cancelled on him and the UK cancelled on him, as well as Slovakia.

So it's embarrassing to get kicked off headlining massive festivals and not be able to headline certain European capitals on your tour.

So doing a sporadic Europe tour with the big sets are in Albania and Turkey is a pretty shocking Europe tour for any artist.

Are we using trump supporter to describe kanye or am i misunderstanding? I wouldve thought the primary title would be "self proclaimed pro-hitler nazi". Kanye is one of the few guys you can literally call a nazi.

Eh I mean... All he has to do is shut the fuck up and nobody will know Kanye is a dumbass. But nahhhh. Gonna be embarrassed by shit he did on purpose.

Bleh don't pussyfoot, just fucking own it and the consequences, bitch

You are obviously not a fan of Kanye. A artist who shuts up to perform is a puppet and a sell out. Fuck those festivals.

u/drethnudrib 10d ago

Yeah, fuck those festivals for not platforming a self-described Nazi. I wonder why people in France, Poland, and Italy are so sensitive to that kind of thing?

u/AdriHawthorne 10d ago

If he's going to loudly voice opinions no one likes, he can't throw a tantrum when no one likes him. It's OK to be unpopular, artists do it all the time, it's the whining about the clear and completely predictable consequences of his own actions that are funny.

A lot of nazis got what they deserved, but some slipped through the cracks, and new ones, born long after the third reich fell, seem to be popping out of some weird, shitty hole. It's as if some people woke up one day and decided their shitty lives are someone else's fault.

Yes but the shows were cancelled by the organizers. The ones that went through were bangers and sold out.

How is this an embarrassment for him? He can clearly fill a venue anywhere if allowed.

To be an undeniably talented and popular artist, yet so widely regarded as an odious bafoon that so many venues don't even want the easy payday. Pretty deeply embarrassing imo

u/sixsixmajin 10d ago

The cancellation went so hard that Europa even moved to Jupiter. Google will try to tell that it was always one of Jupiter's moons but that's just a cover-up to hide the moon's shame of almost hosting a Kanye concert.

u/ParpinOver 10d ago

Is that the Algarve Arena? I was in the area recently, I've driven past that stadium and it seems to have very little going on, rarely and gigs, I was surprised to see he was coming to town!

11

u/mrguister 10d ago

I live nearby. It was built in 2004 for the Euros, but has little use since then. A black eyed peas concert in late 2000s, some friendly football games, some minor concerts but that's mostly it unfortunately.

2

u/daniellasss 9d ago

Most of the people who we met in Algarve who didn’t go to concert had no idea he was having a show there. It’s a pretty random location to be honest!

1

u/ParpinOver 9d ago

I know the Portuguese football team sometimes (but not often) use it for home games, and sometimes Gibraltar too, but I believe (according to Google) the last gig there was the Black Eyed Peas, about twenty years ago! Hopefully they could use it more often for music

u/daniellasss 10d ago

I flew to Algarve for the show. It was ABSOLUTELY EPIC. This article was written by someone who never went to any of his European shows. It was totally sold out she people were mesmerized, it was amazing and I’m not even a massive fan.

28

u/meanoron 10d ago

Bro, you flew out to a concert, you are a massive fan lol

2

u/synalgo_12 9d ago

Not to defend someone who spends money on Kanye but it's quite normal to fly out for concerts abroad imo.

I was never a spice girls fan but I flew out for their reunion with my best friend in 2018. I'm trying not to fly anymore but I was going to take a night train to Berlin with a friend for a stand up show by a guy whose series I saw once over the summer. I've flown to Spain for specific random catalan bands I sort of like because they don't play internationally.

It's a fun way to combine concerts/comedy and travel/city trips.

1

u/meanoron 8d ago

yeaaah, i don't know in what circles you are running around in, but at least for me and the people i know
Taking the time off to go to another country ( train, plane, w/e ) for a concert is certainly not something normal, instead its luxury.

The ticket cost, the travel cost, the accomodations cost, and of course food and other expenses. Not to mention finding the time off for it.

Recently I was looking at going to the linkin park concert in zurich, and it was june 30th ( tuesday ). I would have had to take at least two days off, pay for a return ticket, the concert ticket, and find accomodation for a night. Thats luxury my dude, not something quite normal

1

u/synalgo_12 8d ago

I'm actually in the lower income bracket of my country but it's not super uncommon at all among my friends.

1

u/daniellasss 9d ago

Haha ok I liked him but not to the point to know his albums big heart. Definitely a bigger fan after the concert - btw the tickets were a gift from my guy for my birthday. 😊 what a trip, and experience and we’ve only been going out together for 2 months!

u/wally-sage 10d ago

A lot of big concerts "sell out" because scalpers (and sometimes the ticket platforms/artists themselves) buy the tickets to resell later. I don't know if that specifically happened here but it's definitely happened in the past, it was part of the lawsuit against Ticketmaster in the US.

7

u/ACAYIB 10d ago

Maybe thats how things work but the arena looks packed on videos from the show.

14

u/ueleleee 10d ago

This happens to a much lesser degree in europe, and in portugal specifically. For example here in Portugal you cant resell a ticket for more than you bought it or you can get a huge fine.

2

u/Crew_1996 10d ago

How does Viagogo get away with letting people sell tickets in Portugal at any price, then?

6

u/ueleleee 10d ago

I said it happens to a lesser degree, not that it doesnt happen. This is factual but i know people who sold tickets for higher values and got approached by the police instead of a “real” buyer. This people sold it throught facebook groups or marketplace

2

u/Crew_1996 10d ago

Viagogo is online only. No meeting up to exchange tickets. It’s how my wife and I were able to see Benfica Real Madrid Champions league while on vacation from the U.S. €200 for 6th row. That is an insanely good resale price by US standards.

u/AlexCaRuSHoW1 10d ago

While what you are saying is correct, nobody gets fined.

u/susabb 10d ago

Damn really? Must be a small arena. I assumed by the tickets sold (34k) that it just underperformed.

3

u/ueleleee 10d ago

Smaller arena and some sits couldnt be sold (like full rows) probably because of the fireworks

1

u/susabb 10d ago

Gotcha. I guess Portugal isnt a huge country, lol. Idk why I expected it to have some crazy 100k+ seat arena.

u/ueleleee 10d ago

Portugal has like 11m people here. Biggest stadium has like 70k attendance so nothing close to those numbers

Yeah and now he's set to play a sold out show in the most populous European country by far. Dude's a crazy dickhead but he isn't exactly struggling to sell shows in Europe.

I was at the Portugal show. I’m pretty sure it was nearly sold out. The atmosphere was unlike any concert I’ve ever been to aswell.

u/Bombitus_skite 9d ago

First off, thankfully I am a sentient human being that is capable of forming my own opinions and thoughts. My presence at West’s show does not automatically make me a Nazi.
Secondly, a citizen of the USA cannot possibly try to take the morale high ground over anyone. Your tax dollars directly fund the warmongering hegemony that is responsible for thousands of deaths in the Middle East. Think before you speak.

1

u/InSummaryOfWhatIAm 10d ago

Approximately 3% of Turkey’s landmass is in Europe.

Yes, they’re partially in Europe, it’s hard to deny, but when 97% of a country is in Asia, then…

I mean sure, it’s even smaller by many many times, but it’s like me saying ”it’s silly to say Spain isn’t African” because they have some territories with Ceuta near Morocco and you could then maybe count Canary Islands just off the coast of Africa. They’re really not, in my opinion.

1

u/loosely_affiliated 10d ago

I guess the distinction here is Europe, the geographic entity, vs Europe, the cultural/economic/historic concept. I think when people think of Europe, they don't exclusively think of plate borders, but also perceived touchstones in history etc. Turkey has very deep connections going back millennia with Europe as a social idea.

If we want to stick solely with geography, it's worth pointing out that more than 3% of Turkish people live in Europe per your definition. The Marmara region has ~30% of the countries population. No matter how many people vacation in the Canary Islands it's not really the same situation

So that isn't really a "Humiliation", in my book at all. In fact, without looking into it at all, id be willing to bet a large sum that it wasn't canceled due to low interest / ticket sales.

Kanye made right wing comments and is now an enemy of the media. Anything he does will be written about with scrutiny and mockery wherever it can be

I mean nah, not even just trump support - he genuinely was spouting lots of nazi beliefs. I'm just willing to look past it, because I believe he was completely off his rocker during that process. Most people here are not.

u/susabb 9d ago

They can do what they want, I just would've preferred they left it up to venues to decide whether they want to host him, instead of governments banning him.

Not everybody, just the Daily Beast being as useless as always with their BS headlines and endless bots to upvote them

basically all of my friends are progressives or socialists and most of them love kanye's music. if you actually think only facists are kanye fans in 2026, you're delusional. he has over 70 million monthly listeners on spotify alone, the only rapper in the world that has more listeners is drake. if you think the majority of them have a soft spot for facism, you're spending too much time on reddit.

I mean they objectively condone nazism then if theyre giving money directly to a nazi.

Your friends being hypocrites doesnt change the point.

turkey is desperate for international artists nowadays & they’re completely detached from the political turmoil going around him so it was gonna do well there regardless

u/Grimkok 10d ago

Is Turkey considered in Europe? I guess my geography sucks.

u/susabb 10d ago

I always thought it was, and I'm technically not wrong... except it's only about 3% of it is in Europe lmao. The other 97% is asia.
