Kanye West, also known as Ye, is set to perform at Dinamo Arena in Tbilisi on June 12 as part of the government-backed “Starring Georgia” project.
The Ministry of Culture says the initiative aims to position Georgia as a major destination for international music events. “In 2026, Georgia will be at the forefront of the musical orbit,” the ministry states.
Several of West’s concerts in the UK, Poland, and Switzerland were canceled in May 2026, while a planned show in France was postponed indefinitely following criticism over his past statements.
In recent years, West has made remarks praising Adolf Hitler and questioning the Holocaust, and has faced backlash for social media posts and merchandise linked to Nazi symbolism. In January 2026, he said he was neither anti-Semitic nor a Nazi, attributing previous statements to bipolar disorder.
