It’s official. Kanye West performing under his legal name Ye has confirmed a standalone date in Tbilisi, Georgia with Starring Georgi on June 12, 2025, at Dinamo Arena. With 70,000 tickets snapped up almost immediately after going on sale, the show is now fully sold out, making it the largest single-artist concert ever staged in the South Caucasus.
The announcement sent shockwaves through Georgia’s cultural scene and beyond. Within hours of going live, social media was flooded with reactions from fans across the region Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and the wider diaspora many of whom had never had the chance to see a stadium-level act perform this close to home. For Tbilisi, it is a landmark moment years in the making.
“70,000 tickets. Sold out. This is not a rumor, this is not a drill Tbilisi is officially on the global stadium map.”
The booking is a direct reflection of how dramatically Tbilisi’s event market has matured. Over the past decade, a generation of local promoters and nightlife platforms have built the audience infrastructure the ticket-buying habits, the cultural appetite, the logistics know-how that convinces international management teams a major market exists here. That work is now paying off at the highest level.
Industry insiders point to a string of increasingly ambitious international bookings in recent years as proof of concept. Tbilisi has hosted acts that once seemed unimaginable for a market its size, and each one has sold faster and louder than the last. A Ye show at 70,000 capacity is the logical next step and apparently a very easy sell.
While production details have not been officially confirmed, Ye’s recent touring cycle has been characterized by bold, stripped-back staging vast open stages, dramatic lighting, and an intensity that has drawn comparisons to some of the most iconic arena shows of the past two decades. Tbilisi fans who managed to secure tickets can expect a setlist that spans his full catalogue, from early-era anthems through to his most recent work.

Dinamo Arena, Georgia’s largest stadium, is well-positioned to handle a show of this scale. With a capacity of 70,000 and a track record of major sporting and cultural events, the venue gives the production team full room to operate at the level the show demands.
June 12 is going to be a night Tbilisi remembers for a long time.
