Ye says his recent concert at Istanbul’s Atatürk Olympic Stadium drew 118,000 people, a figure that would make it one of the largest stadium crowds tied to a single artist performance.
The Istanbul show took place as part of his latest international activity under the name Ye. At the event, the crowd size became the main headline after he publicly pointed to the turnout as a record-setting moment.
Atatürk Olympic Stadium is one of Turkey’s largest venues and has hosted major sports and entertainment events over the years. A crowd of that size would place the concert among the biggest live music gatherings in recent memory, especially for a solo performer.
