Performing on top of an illuminated half-dome at the heart of Ellis Park, Ye returns to South Africa for a one-night-only show that fuses music and art into an unforgettable live experience.
Global creative icon, Ye, is set to make his long-awaited return to South Africa this December with a one-night-only live performance at Ellis Park Stadium, Johannesburg on December 13 – reaffirming what promises to be one of the most significant cultural moments of the decade.
Following the worldwide buzz around the announcement, fans can rest assured: after a recent visit by his tour production heads to Johannesburg, the show will be unlike anything South Africa has ever seen.
The performance marks Ye’s first return to the country since 2013 (as Kanye West) – but this time, he comes with a completely reimagined live experience that merges music, stage architecture, and light into a monumental visual statement. At the centre of Ellis Park, crews will construct a massive, illuminated half-dome stage – a towering sculpture of light and sound that will glow against the Johannesburg skyline.
Ye will perform on top of the dome, while spider-cams (like the above-field cameras used in sports events) will capture every move on the stage. As night falls, the dome will come alive – transforming the stadium into a vast, breathing work of art that blurs the boundaries between concert and installation.
“When Ye’s production team visited Ellis Park recently, they were blown away by the world-class infrastructure and scale of the venue. It truly affords Ye an unlimited canvas for his creativity. This isn’t just a concert – it’s performance art on a monumental scale and will be an unforgettable night,” says Samuel Monyake of concert promoters, The Monyake Group.
The company has produced several world-class, milestone live experiences in South Africa, including recent sold-out events with celebrated US gospel artists Naomi Raine and Chandler Moore.
The event has already generated unprecedented excitement, with fans across the continent preparing to witness Ye’s most ambitious live concept to date.
