Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign‘s Vultures 2 may finally be around the corner as the duo have announced a new concert seemingly in support of the much-delayed album.
In an Instagram post on Thursday (July 25), Ty Dolla revealed that he and the Chicago rap legend will deliver a Vultures “listening experience” in Taiwan on August 25.

Further information regarding a venue or tickets, however, have yet to be revealed.
While similar events held earlier this year have seen the duo perform the already-released Vultures 1, the California crooner hinted that this upcoming show will be a premiere of their second collaborative project.

“V2,” he simply wrote in his caption.
The news re-energized fans for the prospect of Vultures 2, with one user commenting on the post: “V2 IT’S COMING.”
Even fellow rapper Denzel Curry was excited, commenting: “LETS GOOOOOOOO.”
The Taiwan performance will follow a similar listening experience in South Korea on August 23, which was announced earlier this month.
Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign were previously scheduled to embark on a mini-tour of U.S. cities to perform their first Vultures album, but the plug was pulled at late notice, purportedly due to “time constraints” in readying the performances.

A separate show at the Step Pyramid of Djoser in Egypt was also postponed, although a rescheduled date has yet to be announced.
In a video posted online before the cancelations, Kanye — who has been mired in controversy in recent years over antisemitic statements — claimed that he was being blacklisted by major venues in the U.S.
“We just sold out the United Center [in Chicago] in seven minutes and I just wanted to express to everybody out there to see if anybody can help with this,” he said in the clip. “It’s the only arena I had access to in the past year.
“And when I call, people say there’s no availables for me and you know why that is. If there’s anybody out there that can help with this, please do.”

Ye also wrote in a separate Instagram post: “I have not been allowed to perform in a year feels like the Elvis Presley movie.”
As for Vultures 2, the album has been plagued by delays since missing its initial release date of March 8. Kanye later announced that it would drop on May 3 but the project again failed to arrive with no explanation.

Despite this, Ty Dolla $ign has repeatedly insisted that the album is still on the way, saying during a livestream with Russian YouTuber Vitaly Zdorovetskiy in May: “It’s dropping ASAP. Vultures 2 is on the way. It’s coming soon. Any day now.”
He also confirmed that the project would be released exclusively on Kanye’s YZY app instead of traditional streaming services — an idea that had been floated by the former billionaire.
