SAN ANTONIO β Members of San Antonio's Jewish community are expected to host a news conference Tuesday to call on city leaders to decline the use of the Alamodome for Ye's Fourth of July concert. The event is scheduled for July 4, 2026, at the Alamodome.
Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has a history of making antisemitic remarks, including praising Adolf Hitler and denying the Holocaust. These statements have led to widespread condemnation from Jewish organizations and others.
The news conference, which will be livestreamed by KSAT, aims to urge the city of San Antonio to cancel the concert. The Jewish community argues that allowing Ye to perform at a city-owned venue would be inappropriate given his past comments.
As of June 24, 2026, the concert is still scheduled, and the city has not publicly commented on the request. The Alamodome is a city-owned facility, and city officials have the authority to approve or deny its use.
