In a groundbreaking move for the music industry, Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, and Ty Dolla $ign are set to bring their collaborative genius to one of the world’s most ancient and revered landmarks: the Step Pyramid of Djoser in Egypt. Scheduled for April 20, this performance marks a monumental moment as they become among the first in the rap genre to grace the pyramids with their music.
This eagerly anticipated Vultures listening experience, taking place in the desert of Saqqara at 8 p.m. local time, promises to be an unparalleled event, with tickets already available for purchase. This announcement follows attempts by other artists, such as Travis Scott, to perform near Egypt’s pyramids, which faced obstacles due to cultural concerns raised by the Egyptian Musicians Syndicate.
The decision to host this unique show at such a historic site not only highlights Ye and Ty Dolla $ign’s innovative spirit but also underlines their desire to connect cultures through music. While previous attempts by American artists to perform at Egypt’s pyramids have faced challenges, this upcoming event paves the way for a new era of musical and cultural exchange, proving that music knows no bounds.
