<\/a>Albanian Prime Minister Promotes Kanye West\u2019s Upcoming Concert in New 60,000-Seat Stadium<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\nShiryn Ghermezian<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama confirmed on Thursday an upcoming concert in the country by Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, despite a number of the rapper\u2019s previous shows being canceled across Europe because of his past antisemitic behavior.<\/span><\/p>\n Rama shared a video<\/a> on Facebook that features footage of the Grammy winner during his previous concerts, along with a message that announces the date of the concert in Tirana, Albania. The \u201cFlashing Lights\u201d singer will perform one night only on July 11.<\/span><\/p>\n The Yeezy founder will also reportedly<\/a> have a temporary venue built for him in the city that will be called \u201cEagle Stadium.\u201d It is expected to hold approximately 60,000 people and will be located near the Tirana-Durra axis, Albania\u2019s Minister of Tourism, Culture, and Sports Blendi Gonxhja confirmed in a Facebook post<\/a>, which was also shared on the ministry\u2019s official Facebook page.<\/span><\/p>\n The Ministry of Culture noted that the concert will be paid for through ticket sales, but some partnered institutions will \u201cfacilitate\u201d its progress, according to BalkanInsight.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIn every aspect, it is our obligation to welcome and facilitate the development of such events that bring numerous benefits to tourism and the economy,\u201d the ministry reportedly said. It added that the concert \u201cwill have an extraordinary impact on the promotion of tourism and the local economy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The United Kingdom, France, Poland, and Switzerland have all recently canceled Ye\u2019s concerts amid controversy over his past antisemitic actions and comments, which include selling T-shirts that feature a Nazi swastika, expressing admiration for Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, releasing a song titled \u201cHeil Hitler,\u201d and posting several antisemitic comments about Jews on X. Australia banned Ye from entering the country last year.<\/span><\/p>\n Italy is still set to have Ye headline its Hellwatt Festival in July, but Pina Picierno, vice president of the European Parliament and senior member of Italy\u2019s Democratic Party, said the government should take action to prevent the concert from taking place. \u201cThe United Kingdom denied the visa. France effectively prevented the Marseille concert. Italy, meanwhile, is just staying idle with 68,000 tickets sold, as if nothing had happened,\u201d Picierno told the local newspaper La Gazzetta di Reggio<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n Ye apologized for his antisemitic and pro-Nazi comments in January in an advert in the Wall Street Journal.<\/em> He attributed his offensive behavior to manic episodes related to untreated bipolar disorder and declared, \u201cI am not a Nazi or an antisemite.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n As part of his world tour, Ye is set to perform this summer in India, Turkey, The Netherlands, Spain, and Portugal.<\/span><\/p>\n Zawarto\u015b\u0107 publikowanych artyku\u0142\u00f3w i materia\u0142\u00f3w nie reprezentuje pogl\u0105d\u00f3w ani opinii Reunion’68,<\/em> Albanian Prime Minister Promotes Kanye West\u2019s Upcoming Concert in New 60,000-Seat Stadium Shiryn Ghermezian Ye, formerly known as Kanye West.
