Kanye West rumoured to host third Donda listening party in Chicago
Kanye West is rumoured to be hosting a third listening party event for his Donda album in Chicago after delaying the album release twice.
Earlier this month (6 August) Kanye West was expected to release his Donda album after it got delayed from its original release date of 23 July, but after 6 August the iTunes and Apple Music pre-order pages for the record were updated, showing that it had been pushed back.
While an official release date is yet to be confirmed by Kanye West himself, rumours suggest that he's due to host a third listening party event in Chicago, after having hosted two listening parties at Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium over the past month.
I work for security at soldier field and we recently had an event added under “major concert event” and I’m very confident that it’s for Kanye’s listening party. If it’s true, then Kanye will be performing in Chicago at soldier field on the 26th #DONDA pic.twitter.com/UgeOFiRIuX
