Kanye West, Ty Dolla Sign hosting album listening party at United Center

Rappers Ye — formerly known as Kanye West — and Ty Dolla Sign will host a listening party Thursday night at the United Center for an upcoming album release.

The event is scheduled for 9 p.m., with gates opening at 7:30 p.m. Tickets went on sale Tuesday afternoon, but they were close to selling out by the evening.

Their new album, “Vultures, Volume 1,” is set to be released at 11 p.m. Thursday under their duo stage name, ¥$.

“This event marks a historic moment as attendees will listen to the album together with the artists and album collaborators before it becomes available,” the United Center’s website says.

The rappers teased the listening party in separate posts Monday night, and the United Center added the party to its event calendar the next day.

Ye’s post depicted the number “1,” and Ty Dolla Sign’s post mentioned the word “Vultures,” a nod to their album, and mentioned Thursday’s date along with the United Center.

A since-deleted trailer for the album set a release date for Feb. 9 for the first of three parts of the album, though it was originally slated for a Dec. 15 release.

“Highlighting the significance of the event, Ye, a Chicago native, has chosen his hometown for this monumental occasion,” the stadium’s website says. “This gathering promises to be an iconic moment in music history, bringing together special guests, album collaborators, and fans in a celebration of creativity and innovation.”
