Kanye West to perform in Tbilisi: All the details about the much-discussed concert

American rapper Kanye West (Ye) is expected to hold a celebratory concert in the capital of Georgia, Tbilisi, on June 12, 2026. According to reports from the website NEWSGEORGIA / Новости – Грузия, the show will take place at the "Dinamo Arena" stadium as part of the fourth season of the Starring Georgia project, a government initiative aimed at attracting tourists to the country.

Ticket sales details

Event organizers, Starring Georgia and Black Sea Arena, have confirmed the event details. As published on the channel Тбилиси для людей и про людей, an exclusive pre-sale for TBC Bank credit card holders will open on May 11 at 12:00, with a 25% discount benefit. Public sales will begin on May 12 at 12:00 via the website tkt.ge.

Background and doubts

While most sources have officially confirmed the event, the channel пакет с пакетами (which takes a skeptical tone toward events of this kind) noted that "there is a tradition of announcing a Ye performance that does not take place." On the other hand, sources associated with the expat community in Tbilisi, such as Николай Левшиц, described the show as a done deal. Other channels like VG/Двач had to correct previous reports regarding fictitious performances in Russia, which increases vigilance among fans.

Political and geographical context

Many channels, including Рифмы и Панчи 🤯 and TrendWatching, highlighted the fact that entry into Georgia for Russian citizens is visa-free, making the destination accessible for fans from that region. Figures critical of the Georgian government, such as Tbilisi life, noted that the project is funded by the current government ("Georgian Dream"), without disclosing the financial cost involved in bringing the controversial star, who has cancelled performances in the past due to his statements.
