Kanye West concert to bring global music spectacle to Tirana on Saturday

TIRANA, July 7 – Tirana will host an international music event on Saturday, July 11, as Kanye West, also known as Ye, performs in the capital. Prime Minister Edi Rama shared images of the stadium under construction in Kashar, on the outskirts of Tirana. Organisers are preparing the venue specifically for the concert. Rama said the event will mark the biggest concert Albania has hosted so far. He added that foreign fans have bought more tickets than for the Conference League final held in Tirana.

The concert is part of Ye’s Live Tour 2026. Ticket prices start at €120. Organisers have announced large-scale stage design, visual effects, and modern technology for the production. Kanye West remains an internationally recognised figure in global entertainment. The event will bring together audiences from Albania, the region, and abroad.

Meanwhile, workers continue building the “Eagle Stadium” in Kashar. The venue will welcome around 60,000 spectators for the concert. Organisers aim to create a large-scale setting for the music event.
