Kanye West, the globally renowned and often controversial rapper, is reportedly planning to perform in India for the first time in April 2026. While the news hasn't been officially confirmed by West's team, reports suggest that the Grammy-winning artist is preparing for a "massive concert tour" across the country.

This tour marks a significant moment for Indian music fans, who will witness West's debut live performance in the country. Although he has visited India in the past for spiritual retreats and to promote his fashion label, he has never performed live for an Indian audience. In 2009, West reportedly spent time at an ashram for spiritual exploration, and in 2012, he visited Mumbai to promote his women's fashion line.

Industry sources suggest that the concerts could be among the largest international music events India has hosted in recent years. The timing of the tour aligns with India's growing prominence as a hub for international live music. In recent months, India has successfully hosted tours by other major international hip-hop acts like Travis Scott and Post Malone, drawing massive crowds.

West's India tour also signifies a comeback after a turbulent 2025, during which he faced widespread concert cancellations due to his antisemitic statements and controversial social media posts. Multiple venues rejected hosting his concerts, and he was dropped from several festivals. Since then, West has claimed to be "done with antisemitism".

The India dates are his first confirmed international shows since announcing a performance in Italy on July 18, 2026. The India tour is expected to support his upcoming album, "Bully," which is set to release on January 30, 2026, after multiple delays.

Fans can anticipate West performing his biggest hits, such as "Gold Digger," "Stronger," "Good Life," and "Ultralight Beam". Known for his innovative stage setups and unique arrangements, West's concerts often include surprises and new material.

While specific cities and venues have not yet been announced, major metropolitan areas are expected to be in the mix. Ticket information is also still under wraps, and fans are eagerly awaiting official announcements from West's team.
