"I get bored with stuff," West said in a recent interview. It came after West's mother Donda died in November 2007 and he had broken up with his fiancee, events that put him in the mood for a less-than-celebratory hip-hop concert. West was alone on a colorful, futuristic tilted stage for nearly the entire performance of his "Glow" tour last year. Recorded soon after both the death of West’s mother Donda and the rapper’s broken engagement to his then-longtime girlfriend, the album relied heavily on Auto-Tune, cold synths and soul-bearing lyrics, a complete stylistic shift from West’s arena-rap LP Graduation the previous year.The producer-turned-rapper-turned-singer has consulted with many of the same people who helped inspire staging for his last set of shows, the "Glow in the Dark Tour." They include filmmaker Spike Jonze, who directed West's upcoming "See You In My Nightmares" video, and The Jim Henson Company. A ticket pre-sale for the concert will take place on August 31st, with the general on-sale to follow on September 4th.ĭetails of the gig remain scarce, and the Hollywood Bowl’s calendar page has not yet been updated to reflect the one-off 808s & Heartbreak performance. While West hasn’t formally announced the surprise concert, a listing for the September 25th show popped up on Ticketmaster ( via Complex). Kanye West will revisit his 808s & Heartbreak next month when the rapper takes to the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles to perform his groundbreaking 2008 album.
Tickets for that concert are on sale now at Ticketmaster. UPDATE: Kanye West has added an additional 808s & Heartbreak show at the Hollywood Bowl on September 26th.
