Ye Hosts New BULLY Listening Party Events in Madrid and Mexico City as World Tour Takes Shape

Ye held two new BULLY listening party events on April 11, 2026, in Madrid and Mexico City, as the world tour behind the album took shape.

The Madrid event takes place at Sala Groove at 8 PM CEST, while Mexico City’s Foro Frontera 88 in the Roma Sur neighborhood hosts two sessions — one at 2 PM CT and a second at 7 PM CT that has already sold out. The events were confirmed by fan account GoodAssSub on X and promoted through the official rsvp.yebully.com portal.

New Ye BULLY Listening Party Events Follow Global Premiere Run

The April 11 events mark the latest wave in a series of BULLY listening parties that have spanned multiple continents. In late March, Ye hosted premiere listening sessions in Los Angeles, New York, Atlanta, South Korea, China, and London ahead of the album’s official release.

The main Los Angeles event took place on March 26 at WePlay Studios in Inglewood and was livestreamed on YouTube. Ye was present at that event, where the full album was played alongside pro-wrestling-themed staging — a visual motif that has been consistent throughout the BULLY era. Several of the originally announced listening parties were later cancelled, though the core events in the U.S. and Asia went ahead as planned.

BULLY officially dropped on streaming platforms on March 28, 2026 via YZY and Gamma. The album is Ye’s twelfth solo studio record and features guest appearances from Travis Scott, CeeLo Green, André Troutman, and Peso Pluma. Production credits include James Blake, 88-Keys, and the Legendary Traxster.

BULLY Tour 2026: Confirmed Dates Across 7 Countries

Beyond the listening parties, Ye has a full concert tour mapped out from April through August 2026. The confirmed dates span three continents, including multiple European stops:

• April 1 & 3 — SoFi Stadium, Inglewood, CA (completed — both nights sold out, Friday show grossed over $18 million)
• May 30 — Atatürk Olympic Stadium, Istanbul, Turkey (completed — drew more than 118,000, the largest crowd of Ye’s career)
• June 6 & 8 — GelreDome, Arnhem, Netherlands (completed — June 8 fell on Ye’s birthday)
• June 12 — Dinamo Arena, Tbilisi, Georgia (completed)
• June 26 & 28 — Raymond James Stadium, Tampa, FL (completed — North West and Kodak Black guested on June 28)
• July 4 — Alamodome, San Antonio, TX
• July 11 — Eagle Stadium, Tirana, Albania (completed — 35-song set)
• July 18 — RCF Arena, Reggio Emilia, Italy (cancelled by Italian authorities)
• July 30 — Riyadh Air Metropolitano, Madrid, Spain (completed — 65,000 fans)
• August 7 — Estádio Algarve, Portugal
• September 3 & 4 — Soldier Field, Chicago, IL (tour finale — Kid Cudi joined Ye on September 4)

The Netherlands dates are particularly significant. The first show at the 41,000-capacity Gelredome in Arnhem sold out almost immediately, prompting the addition of a second night on June 8 — which happens to fall on Ye’s birthday. The Arnhem concerts mark Ye’s first European headline shows in over a decade.

The SoFi Stadium shows on April 1 and 3 drew over 140,000 combined attendees. Ye brought out Travis Scott, Lauryn Hill, CeeLo Green, Don Toliver, and his daughter North West across the two nights. A new collaboration with Don Toliver was also previewed at a listening party held immediately after the concerts.

Wireless Festival Cancelled After UK Bans Ye From Entry

One major date has already fallen off the schedule. On April 7, the UK Home Office blocked Ye’s Electronic Travel Authorization, effectively banning him from entering the country. The decision was made on the grounds that his presence would not be conducive to the public good, citing his history of antisemitic statements.

Ye had been announced as the sole headliner for all three nights of London’s Wireless Festival (July 10–12). The ban led to the immediate cancellation of the entire festival, with organizers issuing full refunds to all ticket holders.

The controversy escalated rapidly after sponsors including Pepsi and Diageo withdrew their support. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Ye “should never have been invited to headline Wireless,” while other politicians and Jewish community groups condemned the booking. Ye had issued a statement offering to meet with Jewish community members in the UK, but the ban was enacted before any such meeting could take place.

The Wireless cancellation did not stop the rest of the tour, but it was not the only lost date: on May 30, Italian authorities cancelled the Reggio Emilia show over public order and security concerns.

What’s Next for the BULLY Era

With the listening party circuit still active and a full world tour ahead, the BULLY rollout shows no signs of slowing down. The album debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with approximately 152,000 album-equivalent units in its first week, including 98.43 million on-demand streams.

Fans attending today’s Ye BULLY listening party in Madrid or Mexico City can RSVP through rsvp.yebully.com or the venue-specific portal bully.yemadrid.com for the Spain event. Concert tickets for the remaining tour dates are available through official channels and authorized resale platforms.

Update, October 16, 2026: The deluxe edition did arrive: BULLY Deluxe was released on June 19, 2026 with 26 songs.
