Kanye West has apparently begun planning for a major event in Reggio Emilia, Italy, on Friday (October 13), which will entertain around 80,000 people. According to the Italian publication ReggiOnline, which touts itself as the “official voice” of the northern Italian city, West has apparently sent all of the necessary employees to build a stage in preparation for the Friday the 13th event. However, the outlet emphasises that, while the “Through the Wire” rapper has dispatched the necessary field workers to get the party started, he has not received the requisite authorizations from the Italian governing bodies to formally launch the event on that day and time.

If the surprise Kanye West concert happens, it will be held at the RCF Arena, which is located on the former site of the Campovolo airport and can hold that many people. The Arena’s website, on the other hand, has made no mention of any concert on October 13, let alone a Kanye West performance. Kanye West was last seen in Italy on August 7, when Travis Scott presented UTOPIA in front of 60,000 Italian fans. That was West’s first performance since making a series of anti-Semitic and anti-BLM remarks in 2022. Kanye dressed all in black with a black hood concealing most of his face, a Jesus piece chain, & nothing on his feet, performed Donda’s “Praise God” alongside Scott as well as his 2007 hit “Can’t Tell Me Nothing.”

Kanye West Is Said To Be Planning A Massive Italian Concert Next Week
After much teasing, secret fashion displays, crazy fits, leaked footage, and so much more, it appears that Kanye West’s next album (or albums?) will have a grand climax. Furthermore, an Italian news site reports that he is preparing a major event in Reggio Emilia, Italy, for next Friday (October 13). However, according to the article, if the crew requires more time, the event may take place the following Friday (October 20). Of course, this report is somewhat speculative and is dependent on venue activity, but it all seems reasonable given who we’re dealing with. Staff at the Rcf Arena, for example, are hard at work erecting a large stage for what rumours claim is a last-minute concert. Nobody, least of all the Chicago rapper, has confirmed the details of this piece. Nonetheless, the extensive preparations, short notice, and the magnitude of the venue suggest that only a big name like Kanye West will be able to pull it off. Furthermore, there has already been a lot of anticipation regarding new music–and antics–from him, which has increased significantly in recent weeks.

Furthermore, any die-hard admirer of the 46-year-old, or even those who know him in passing, will recognise all of this. Kanye West album releases are famously chaotic, unorganised in terms of time, and frequently come with a slew of extras such as leaked footage, beef with other artists, & public disputes. Kanye West’s most recent performance in Italy was on August 7, when Travis Scott presented UTOPIA in front of 60,000 Italian fans. That was West’s first performance since making a series of anti-Semitic and anti-BLM remarks in 2022. Kanye dressed all in black with a black hood concealing most of his face, a Jesus piece chain, & nothing on his feet, performed Donda’s “Praise God” alongside Scott as well as his 2007 hit “Can’t Tell Me Nothing.” Travis Scott made certain that West received flowers. “There is no UTOPIA without Kanye West,” Scott declared to the audience. “Without Kanye West, there is no Travis Scott.” Without Kanye West, there is no Rome.”
