Kanye West Heading To Slovakia This Summer

Ye is heading to Slovakia this summer for a rare Eastern European appearance as the headliner of the 2025 Rubicon Festival in Bratislava.

The three-day Hip-Hop event, running from Friday, July 18 to Sunday, July 20, will close with Ye’s performance on the final night, marking his first major show in the country.

The announcement was made Thursday (June 19) through a stark Instagram story featuring Ye in a white futuristic outfit, face covered, and blue-accented shoes.

The Rubicon Festival, one of Europe’s rising Hip-Hop events, will also feature Offset, Ken Carson, UFO361, Voyage, GZUZ, and DJ S####.

Organizers expect the festival to draw tens of thousands from across the continent. Tickets will be available starting Sunday (June 22) at 7 p.m. CEST through Ticketportal, the official vendor.

The event is produced by Pop Out and includes creative input from J. Noah. The Instagram post announcing Ye’s appearance offered few details beyond the festival name, dates and collaborators.

Still, the visual alone was enough to stir speculation among followers about whether the performance might coincide with a new album, fashion drop or both.
