Is Kanye West performing at Rubicon Festival 2025? Viral rumor debunked

Rumors about Kanye West, also called Ye, performing at the Rubicon Festival 2025 have spread across social media. These rumors started when people shared a screenshot online showing a message from Ye's business manager. The message talks about an offer to perform at the Rubicon Festival in Bratislava, Slovakia.

The offer includes a $7 million fee, costs for flights, and the chance for Ye to create his own stage setup, like he did before for Rolling Loud. The message says the show would happen on Sunday, July 20, 2025, at 10:45 PM, the final act of the festival. It also mentions paying a deposit of $3.5 million when signing and another $3.5 million on June 20. But right now, Ye and his team haven't said anything about this booking.

Additionally, the official Rubicon Festival website doesn't currently list Kanye West as one of its confirmed performers. Ye did not appear on the festival's website at the moment. This has made people wonder if the screenshot is real and if any official deal has been made.

Rubicon Festival 2025: Lineup, Dates, and Rumored Kanye West Appearance

Rubicon Festival 2025 will take place from July 18 to July 20 in Bratislava, Slovakia. The festival highlights both global and Slovak hip-hop artists. It aims to rank among Europe's top hip-hop festivals. The organizers say the event’s lineup plans to bring top-tier performances, fresh ideas, and a lively atmosphere to visitors from Slovakia and other countries.

This year’s confirmed performers include DJ Spade, Gcuz, Offset, Voyage, UFO361, and Ken Carson. Offset, who rose to fame with the hip-hop group Migos, will perform in Slovakia for the first time. Voyage, a fast-emerging Serbian artist, will also take the stage, mixing Balkan pop sounds with hip-hop beats. More names will be announced soon.

Rumors about Kanye West joining the Rubicon Festival would be a huge deal if true, but fans should wait for official updates. The screenshot making the rounds online has not been verified. So, it should not be taken as proof of Ye’s involvement.

To get the latest updates, fans should check Rubicon Festival's official pages or head to their website to see new announcements. You can buy tickets for the festival on the Ticketportal website.

There is also a new rumor about Kanye West. Talk about the rapper changing his name seems to have come from a technical mistake, not an official choice. His spokesperson said an online form glitch caused the name to show up wrong as “Ye Ye.” When speaking with Page Six, the representative explained this isn’t a legal name change. The rapper still uses “Ye,” the name he took back in 2021.
