What happened
Istanbul is the number the rest of the tour is measured against. 118,000 people inside the Atatürk Olympic Stadium — a record attendance for the venue, billed as a world stadium record, and the largest crowd Ye has ever performed to.
It drew fans from across Europe, including from countries where he had been barred from appearing at all. The whole set was livestreamed on his YouTube channel, which is why this night is better documented than most of the tour.
André Troutman worked the talk-box again. The show closed on "Runaway" with a new extended synth outro built around a spoken-word sample of Donda West — an ending that stayed in the set for the rest of the year.
