Kanye West has confirmed June 19 for the deluxe edition of his album BULLY, but with Ye, a date is more of a starting point than a promise.
On Tuesday, June 9 his birthday, Kanye West, known professionally as Ye, gifted himself with some content and gifted fans with a date. In the YouTube description for his newly released “GEMINI SEASON” visual, Ye slipped in a note that has the internet buzzing: “BULLY DELUXE OTW 06.19.” That’s June 19, a Friday, for the deluxe edition of his twelfth studio album, BULLY.
The original BULLY album landed on March 28, 2026 via YZY and Gamma on a Saturday instead of the industry-standard Friday, which shortened its first tracking window and caused a brief chart controversy. Despite debuting at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with 152,000 album-equivalent units, distributor Gamma pushed back on those numbers, claiming the project moved closer to 200,000 units when accounting for a full seven days of activity. The album also hit No. 1 on both Apple Music and Spotify globally, crossing 264 million streams on Spotify alone in its first week.
What We Know. And What We Don’t.
Here’s the honest situation: details are thin. We don’t know how many tracks the deluxe will add. We don’t know if any features are planned. We don’t know if the tracklist has already been locked or if Ye is still tinkering in the studio as you read this sentence.
What we do have is one potential hint. The “GEMINI SEASON” visual, directed by Bianca Censori in what is her second directing credit after “FATHER” appears to be a song slated for the deluxe edition, based on its placement in the YouTube description alongside the June 19 date. The track features Ye singing in a melodic, intimate register over stripped production, and the visual leans into surreal, experimental territory that feels consistent with the BULLY aesthetic. If this is what the deluxe sounds like, fans should brace for something unconventional.
Ye Is Currently On The Road
While fans wait on the deluxe, Ye is deep into the most active touring stretch he’s had in years. The “Ye Live Concert Tour” supporting BULLY, kicked off in spectacular fashion at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 1 and April 3, marking his first headlining US shows in nearly five years. The two-night LA run featured appearances from Travis Scott, North West, Don Toliver, CeeLo Green, and Lauryn Hill, with production centered around a rotating Earth structure surrounded by immersive dystopian projections.
The tour also made history before it even hit the US. Ye performed at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi, India on March 29, 2026 — his first-ever concert in the country. The global ambition of this run is not subtle.
The European leg is now underway. Upcoming and recent dates include stadium stops across the continent through the end of July, with the tour expected to wrap July 30 at Riyadh Air Metropolitano in Madrid.
| Date | City | Venue |
|---|---|---|
| Mar 29 | New Delhi, India | Jawaharlal Nhru Stadium |
| Apr 1 & 3 | Los Angeles, USA | SoFi Stadium |
| Jun 6 & 8 | Arnhem, Netherlands | GelreDome |
| Jun 12 | Tbilisi, Georgia | Dinamo Arena |
| Jun 19 ★ | — | BULLY DELUXE DROPS |
| Jun 26 & 28 | Tampa, USA | Raymond James Stadium |
| Jul 11 | Tirana, Albania | Eagle Stadium |
| Jul 30 | Madrid, Spain | Riyadh Air Metropolitano |
| August 7 | Algarve, Purtugal | Estádio Algarve |
That June 19 deluxe date sits right in the middle of an active touring stretch, which means Ye could well be performing new deluxe tracks live before the ink is even dry on the streaming numbers.
