Kanye West’s homecoming in November will be a double feature.

Less than a week after announcing the rapper’s Nov. 7 concert at the United Center, promoter AEG Live said Thursday that Yeezy will perform again on Saturday, Nov. 9.

Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, and details are at kanyewest.com.

Touring with Kendrick Lamar, Kanye will hit the road starting with an Oct. 19 date in Seattle.

Though he shared stages with Jay-Z in 2011, Kanye hasn’t toured solo since 2008.
