Ye had 118,000 fans watch him perform in Istanbul last May, setting the record for the most attended solo hip-hop show in world history. Kanye West now also holds the United States attendance record for a rap show, which he broke last night (Saturday, November 7) in the Arlington/Dallas area after setting it twice earlier this year. He had already broken it in Houston with 80,210 fans just a week ago and had set the previous record with his SoFi Stadium shows earlier this year.
Now, we have a better idea of how many tickets the Chicago artist sold to set this benchmark for the third time in 2026. According to Loren LoRosa, Bars, and concert promoter IKON Presents, over $18 million in revenue came in from around 83,132 ticket sales for this Dallas concert.
Special guests for this show in Texas included tour mainstay André Troutman, Erykah Badu, and another reunion with longtime friend-and-foe Kid Cudi. It seems like the collaborators' relationship is as good as it's ever been these days, and fans are excited to see if they collaborate again soon.
Ye's Dallas Attendance
These attendance numbers for the Dallas show are quite impressive, and they might just be broken yet again. Kanye West has more shows to look forward to, including one in Phoenix on November 21 and one in Mexico City in March of next year. Whether or not he schedules more concerts in the future is a mystery, as some fans expect he might want to take a bit of a break. But maybe this model of live performance is his new standard, as wild of an idea as that may sound like.
Despite all this success and acclaim, there's still a lot of debate over Ye's past when it comes to these concerts and public moves. People haven't forgotten his controversies and bigotries over the years, but none of these conversations have affected the financial success of the tour.
We'll see if this record breaks once again amid this trek. In the meantime, Kanye fans are astounded at what they have witnessed so far from this tour.
