Kanye West's India debut show cancelled for 2nd time after government directive

Rapper Kanye West's India debut concert, which was scheduled for May 23 this year in New Delhi, has been postponed for the second time. The concert of the rapper, who currently goes by the name of Ye, has been postponed after authorities issued security-related directives, the organisers said. The planned show has already been called off once earlier this year.

The show had



been scheduled for May 23, 2026, and was set to mark the first India performance by the artiste. Organisers said the May 23 event would not take place following instructions from government and law enforcement agencies, citing safety concerns for fans and the public.

Event organisers White Fox announced the cancellation in an official statement shared on Instagram.
