The Vultures are circling the West Coast.
¥$ — aka Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign — are hosting ‘Vultures 1 Listening Experience’ concerts at Phoenix’s Footprint Center on Sunday, March 10 and San Francisco’s Chase Center on Tuesday, March 12.
At the shows, fans can expect to be treated to the duo’s controversial new, chart-topping “Vultures” album “in a high-fidelity audio and visual showcase, crafted by Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign,” according to a press release.
That’s not all, though.
In addition to upsetting, controversial moments at past “Listening Experiences” — while wearing a Jason Voorhees mask, West delivered the lyric “And I’m still crazy, bipolar, anti-Semite. And I’m still the king,” which led to the event’s livestream being cut off — the duo often bring in big names to perform with them.
Past “listening experiences” have featured high-profile guests like North West (Ye’s daughter with Kim Kardashian), Offset, Kodak Black, Lil Durk and Freddie Gibbs, along with a few other familiar faces.
For fans that want to catch the divisive Ye live, tickets for both shows can be picked up as soon as today.
Although inventory isn’t available on Ticketmaster for the San Francisco gig until Wednesday, March 6, fans who want to ensure they have tickets ahead of time can purchase on sites like Vivid Seats before tickets are officially on sale.
Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.
They have a 100% buyer guarantee that states your transaction will be safe and secure and will be delivered before the event.

About “Vultures, Volume 1”
West and Dolla Sign’s 16-track debut collaboration is classic Kanye; lush arrangement along with juvenile lyrics.
The album’s lead track, which features a gorgeous orchestral beat is undercut by off-putting lines like “Keep a few Jews on the staff now/ I cash out.”
You can listen to the sonically adventurous yet lyrically immature “Vultures” here.
Kanye West controversy
Over the past few years years, the 46-year-old Chicago native has generated quite a bit of ire.
His most notable recent dustup took place in late 2022 when he made a number of anti-Semitic statements which led to many companies he partnered with — including Gap, Adidas and Balenciega — dropping him from their labels.
West has since apologized for his unfortunate comments on Instagram, although that post is no longer available to view on his account at the time of publication.
Following his statement, he made a number of anti-Semitic remarks at his inaugural ‘Vultures Listening Party’ concert in Chicago, according to the New York Post.
