It's an event that few saw coming. Kanye West, now known as Ye, has chosen Marseille for his grand European return. On June 11, 2026, the American artist will take over the Orange Velodrome for an exceptional concert, the only French date of his tour. The stage design promises to be spectacular: the performance area will cover the entire field, while the audience will be seated only in the stands. A rare setup that promises a fully immersive experience in the world of someone who many consider to be one of the most influential artists in global hip-hop.

A unique show in France at the Olympic venue
After announcing dates in the Netherlands and Italy, Ye confirms that France will have just one concert, and it will be in Marseille. The choice of the Velodrome, the iconic stadium of Olympique de Marseille, is no coincidence. With its impressive capacity and acoustics revamped for major events, the venue promises an atmosphere equal to the show. The announcement comes as a new album is expected on March 20, hinting at a setlist that will blend must-have classics with new tracks.
Date, presale, and ticket information
The concert by Kanye West at the Stade Velodrome in Marseille will take place on June 11, 2026. Fans can now sign up for presale on the official site yefrance.com.

It’s better to prepare in advance if you hope to snag some tickets and be part of what is already shaping up to be one of the biggest musical events of 2026 in Marseille.
