Kanye West Breaks Own Record for Most Attended Hip-Hop Concert in US History

Ye, the artist formerly known as Kanye West, attracted 83,132 fans to his show at Dallas's AT&T Stadium on Saturday November 7, breaking his previous record for the most-attended hip-hop concert in US history.

The stats:

• Ye’s Dallas show was the fifth-highest grossing concert in US history, generating more than $18 million in reported gross revenue in a single night, according to his representative, as reported by Variety.

• Ye broke his previous record of around 80,210 tickets sold at Houston’s Reliant Stadium on Halloween night.

• That show surpassed his earlier record of more than 74,000 tickets sold at each of his two SoFi Stadium concerts in Los Angeles in April.

• Ye’s concerts are independently promoted, without a major partner such as Live Nation or AEG Presents.

Highs and lows:

• Not all of Ye’s 2026 concerts have been as successful, with scheduled shows in the UK, France, Poland, Switzerland, Italy, and Russia canceled or postponed amid backlash over the rapper’s previous antisemitic remarks and behavior, including expressions of support for Nazism.
