It has been kind of a bittersweet comeback for Kanye West (now Ye). His US concerts have been a massive success - the biggest of his career so far. However, due to his prior prejudices and controversies, Kanye West has had considerable difficulty securing international performances for his new album, ‘Bully.’ But a ray of hope for his international tour has come from Turkey, where his concert in Istanbul is still happening, and fans think they will witness a very special moment.

It is anticipated that rapper Travis Scott might make an appearance alongside Kanye West and his daughter North West at the concert.

The promoter of Kanye West's upcoming Istanbul concert has revealed that rapper Travis Scott will make an unexpected appearance. The two musicians, who have previously performed together in Los Angeles, are scheduled to perform their duet song 'Father' at the May 30 performance, according to Erdem Karahan, founder of ILS Vision. Also expected to perform is West’s daughter, North West.

The additional performers include Turkish musicians Sena Sener, Motive, and Lvbel C5. Additional acts, including sets by West and his orchestra, will take place in a 30,000-person festival area outside the stadium before and after the main show. With at least 150 million Turkish liras spent on the stage, lighting, and technical equipment, this show is expected to be among the largest in Turkey's history.

It is anticipated that the concert-related tourism will bring in an extra $100 million for Turkey. According to Karahan, reservations and official channels have already sold 75,000 seats. With tourists already in Istanbul, total attendance could go beyond 115,000. The Istanbul concert will mark the beginning of his European tour.

Although Istanbul is the first concert of the European leg, it should have begun a long time ago, but cancellations delayed it from happening.

Kanye West's other European shows have been postponed. The UK government's refusal to let the rapper enter the nation resulted in the cancellation of the Wireless Festival in London. Benoit Payan, the mayor of Marseille, stated that West was not permitted to play there on June 11. Additionally, there is increasing pressure to postpone West's forthcoming Italian show.
