North West and Playboi Carti joined Ye onstage in Houston
Reliant called it a U.S. stadium rap attendance record; the Chronicle attributed the specific 80,210 count to Hip Hop All Day.

Complex reported that North West joined Ye for “Legacy” and “Talking” at his October 31 show at Reliant Stadium. Playboi Carti appeared for “Carnival” and “Off the Grid,” then took the lead on “Evil J0rdan” and “FE!N.”

Ye’s first Houston performance since 2019, according to Complex, ran nearly three hours. The set paired Bully tracks “King” and “Father” with “Stronger,” “Gold Digger” and “All of the Lights,” before “Runaway” closed the show.
Reliant Stadium said the concert set a U.S. stadium rap-concert attendance record. Complex reported more than 80,000 people attended; the Houston Chronicle separately said Hip Hop All Day put the total at 80,210. The reports do not present that precise total as an official venue count.
The show came after the venue warned against “outward expressions of hate.” The Houston Chronicle also reported that Holocaust Museum Houston offered free admission all weekend and connected the offer to the urgency of its work amid Ye’s history of antisemitic rhetoric.
