The official news was broken by District on Instagram with the caption: "India. It’s time. Ye live 29 March | Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, New Delhi. This is not a show. This is a statement."
The tickets for the concert will be live on February 18, 2026, at 4 PM on the District booking site.
The 48-year-old hitmaker, known for chart-toppers like Through the Wire, Stronger, Heartless, and Runaway, has long been regarded as one of hip-hop's most influential figures. His India debut marks a significant milestone for the country's rapidly expanding live music culture.
While Delhi gears up for what promises to be a historic night, Mumbai fans are crossing their fingers for a second date announcement. Until then, it looks like Ye’s first Indian stage will light up the capital and possibly make history.
