Ye sold 83,132 tickets for his November 7 concert at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

This figure establishes a new record for a sold-out rap concert at the venue. It also breaks the attendance record Ye set just days earlier during a Halloween performance at NRG Stadium in Houston.

The Houston show on October 31 drew more than 80,000 fans. The Houston venue previously designated that event as a record-setting rap concert. Ye’s Arlington performance now surpasses that benchmark.

The Arlington show featured several surprise guest appearances. Dallas native Erykah Badu joined Ye on stage. The Grammy-winning artist performed several songs with him, including the track “Tyrone.”

Kid Cudi also reunited with Ye for the performance. They played “Father Stretch My Hands Pt 1” and “ghost town” together. The two had a public falling out in 2022. Kid Cudi had previously appeared on Ye’s tour on September 4 at Chicago’s Soldier Field.

André Troutman also made an appearance during the Arlington event. Ye now claims the top three spots for the largest reported single-show crowds for rap concerts in United States history. These records are based on ticket sales and attendance figures.

Ye holds the top three positions among the largest single-show rap concerts in the U.S. The records include performances in Texas and California. His two-night engagements in Inglewood and Chicago generated larger combined totals, but those do not count as single-show records.
