Kanye West and his upcoming world tour are currently the talk of the town. Teaming up with his collaborator, Ty Dolla $ign, the rapper recently announced their much-anticipated ‘Vultures’ listening event. It is scheduled to take place in Chicago just before ‘Vultures’ release. However, the buzz around the album skyrocketed when Ye orchestrated a silent campaign among his followers to secure venues. This stirred up plenty of speculation among fans about where Kanye West might perform, as everyone is keen not to miss the resurgence of the rap legend.

One venue that has been floating around in discussions is the Great Wall of China. Here is the complete lowdown on whether Kanye West will perform at the Chinese Wall or not.

Is it possible for Kanye West to perform at the Great Wall of China?

Speculations about Kanye West performing at the Great Wall of China arose from one of his recent stories. He shared a screenshot of his interaction with a fan who suggested three venues for Kanye West to perform, including Corcovado in Brazil, the Giza Pyramids, and the Great Wall of China. The Great Wall of China is not a typical concert location. However, it is certainly feasible for the ‘Donda’ rapper to organize a show there if he desires.

Especially, given that West showed interest in response to the fan’s suggestion, it could indeed be a possibility. However, following the active support of fans in response to Kanye West’s request to find him arenas for performances, the rapper now has a plethora of options. According to recent reports, his world tour could span anywhere from Tokyo to Toronto. But what brightens his chances of performing in China even more is that it is the chosen venue of one of his favorite artists.

One classic musician with whom Kanye West has openly expressed his desire to collaborate had a chance to perform in China in 2011 after he was forced to cancel shows in Beijing and Shanghai in 2010.

Kanye West may not get permission to perform in China

Besides its ancient cities and martial arts, China is known for banning performances by music icons. From Jay-Z and Miley Cyrus to Bon Jovi and Justin Bieber, the country has blacklisted several artists. Among them is Bob Dylan, who has been frequently compared to Kanye West and is a favorite of the rapper. The veteran was compelled to cancel shows in Beijing and Shanghai in 2010. This was due to concerns from the Ministry of Culture regarding his past as a counterculture icon and the lyrical content of his songs.

He was only allowed to perform the following year under strict conditions, with a pre-approved setlist. Kanye West, known for his controversial lyrics and fearless demeanor, could potentially encounter similar challenges if he were to perform in China. This could present a significant obstacle to the speculation of such an event becoming a reality.
