The rapper formerly known as Kanye West will perform a one-night-only concert at Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium on October 24, 2026—his sole Southeast Asian stop on the Ye Live Concert Tour.
For fans who’ve spent two decades debating whether “Graduation” or “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” sits atop Ye’s discography, an in-person tiebreaker is finally here. The 47-year-old rapper, producer and fashion icon will descend on Jakarta, Indonesia this October for what organizers are calling a 360-degree immersive experience built around his signature Globe Stage. Located less than a two-hour flight from Singapore, the show represents the closest the artist has come to returning to the city-state in over 15 years.
Ye last performed in Singapore at SingFest in 2010, following his debut concert at the Singapore Indoor Stadium in 2008. This Jakarta date marks his only confirmed Southeast Asian performance on the 2026 tour.
A Spectacle Beyond the Music
Love him or question his antics, Ye’s influence on modern music remains undeniable. Over two decades, he’s reshaped hip hop through era-defining albums, boundary-pushing production and a gift for turning every release into a cultural moment. His concerts, however, have evolved well beyond a standard rap show.
Forget a lone figure pacing across a runway stage. Ye’s recent performances have become fully immersive spectacles where music, visuals and storytelling merge. The Globe Stage—a massive circular production—places fans in a 360-degree experience, eliminating the traditional separation between artist and audience.
The timing aligns with the success of his twelfth studio album Bully, which debuted at number one on Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. That same ambitious production will now fill Jakarta’s largest stadium, which holds up to 77,000 fans, making this one of the region’s biggest concert weekends of the year.
What to Expect from the Setlist
Based on recent shows, attendees can expect material from Bully including tracks like “OK” and “Father,” alongside career-spanning hits. Early favorites such as “Jesus Walks,” “Gold Digger” and “All of the Lights” may appear alongside later anthems like “Follow God” and “Carnival.” Given Ye’s reputation for spontaneity, don’t be surprised if the set evolves right up to show day.
Planning Your Trip from Singapore
Getting there is straightforward. Direct flights from Singapore’s Changi Airport to Jakarta take under two hours, with multiple daily departures. Singapore passport holders do not require a visa for short visits.
Getting to the venue:
- Take the Airport Rail Link from Soekarno-Hatta International Airport
- Connect to Jakarta MRT to Senayan station near GBK (under 45 minutes)
- Alternatively, book a Grab or Gojek ride-sharing service
For those making a weekend of it, official ticket-and-hotel bundles are available at nearby properties including Fairmont Jakarta, Hotel Mulia Jakarta and ARTOTEL Gelora Senayan.
