Kanye West to host listening party for ‘Donda’ album July 22

Kanye West, the US rapper, will be hosting a listening party for ‘Donda’, his 10th studio album, on Thursday.

Live Nation, American global entertainment company, broke the news on Monday — shortly after images of the cover art from the album were unveiled.

The upcoming album is named after Kanye West’s mother who died tragically in 2007, following complications from cosmetic surgery.

Pusha T, another US rapper, also confirmed the news on his social media page.

The event is scheduled to take place at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium — which is home to the Atlanta Falcons.

The stadium has a capacity to hold 71,000 persons, while fans can purchase the event’s tickets on Ticketmaster, a US sales and distribution company.

The listening party is coming shortly after Kanye West held a more private listening get-together for the upcoming album in Las Vegas over the weekend.

Only selected celebrities were invited for the rendezvous, with restrictions placed on phones.

Kanye West has hosted several marquee album release parties in recent years.

In 2016, the rapper famously debuted a massive listening event and fashion show at Madison Square Garden for ‘The Life of Pablo’, his 7th studio album.

‘Jesus Is King,’ his last album, was released in 2019.

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, his ex-wife, recently ended their seven-year-old marriage, although with joint legal and physical custody of their four children.
