It appears as though Kanye West is planning a North American tour for 2015, this, according to the Diamond Ball auction, which we know about thanks to a Rihanna tweet.
Basically, Rih Rih tweeted a link to this auction, the proceeds of which benefit the Clara Lionel Foundation. When you click the link, you'll see a number of expensive and exclusive items up for grabs, which include a Rihanna Tour Experience ($15,000) as well as a Kanye West Tour Experience ($15,000). On the Kanye West Tour Experience ("courtesy of Roc Nation"), the Diamond Ball auction coincidentally lets it slip that Kanye is going on a North American tour in 2015. The description of what you'll receive if you bid on the Yeezy Experience is as follows:
Be Kanye West’s special front row VIP guest for his upcoming North American 2015 tour. Experience a rare opportunity meet & greet with the icon.
This once-in-a-lifetime moment includes:
Two (2) VIP tickets in city of your choice to a Kanye West concert date on his upcoming 2015 tour.
A Private Meet & Greet with Kanye West before the show.
A limited pair of Yeezy’s in your size.
Autographed tour memorabilia.
Exclusive tour merchandise in winner's size.
Who's got $15k to spare?
[Update: Rihanna To Join Him?]
After Rihanna spilled the news about Kanye going on tour later this year (see above), it’s now looking like she’ll be joining him along the way.
The news comes via Complex, who received a photo/flyer from a “close, reliable” source that exposes both superstars to be hitting the road together this year.
While nothing has been officially confirmed, the likelihood of this tour happening is probably very high. After all, they both have albums on the way, which will feature their new collaboration “FourFiveSeconds”. Look for them to perform that new single at this Sunday’s Grammy’s Awards.
We’ll keep you posted on any further announcements and/or release dates.
