Kanye West set to host a THIRD listening party for Donda… after delaying July album release

Kanye West is set to host a third listening party for his as-yet unreleased tenth studio album, Donda.

The 44-year-old rapper will play the record to a live audience in his second hometown, Chicago, Ill. at Soldier Field on August 26.

West shared the new event with a simple Instagram post and revealed tickets go on sale for the show on August 20.

Donda was initially slated for a July release, and then received an early August date only to be pushed back to an undetermined time.

Late rapper Pop Smoke is set to be featured, including songs with The Weeknd, Travis Scott, Kid Cudi and longtime collaborator Jay-Z, with Donda marking their first time working on a song together in five years following a feud. 

His last album, Jesus is King, broke from his usual rap genre and followed a Christian theme, and was released on Oct. 25, 2019.

Kanye has already premiered Donda twice to live audiences, with fans being able to tune in to the Apple Music livestream in early August 

The event took place at the Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta, where the rapper has reportedly been living for the past few weeks in an effort to perfect the record.

He arrived one hour past the scheduled 6:30 p.m. start time at the second show, and appeared at the center of the stadium in a black Donda thermal top, baggy pants, and black combat boots.

To close out the listening party, West ascended to the heavens — with a little help from a suspension cord — as the final song came to a dramatic close. 

West debuted a first draft recording of Donda to a crowd of fans, friends and family at the 71,000-seat stadium on July 22.  

The first listening party broke the Apple Music Global Livestream record with 3.3 million viewers. 

Though no specific reason was ever given, Kanye decided to scrap the album’s originally scheduled July 23 release date following the listening party.
