Ye’s Full Setlist and Special Guests at Night Two of His Chicago Homecoming Show
Ye turned his second Chicago homecoming show into another star-studded celebration of his career, bringing a long list of special guests to Soldier Field on Friday night.
The September 4 performance followed Thursday’s opening show and featured an even larger collection of Chicago artists, longtime collaborators and major names from Ye’s career.
The rapper performed for more than three hours and moved through music from different stages of his catalog. The show also featured appearances from Kid Cudi, Travis Scott, Chief Keef, Young Thug, Rick Ross, Lupe Fiasco, Common and several other artists.
Ye Opens With Chicago Classic
Ye began the second night with a partial performance of Jeezy’s “Put On” before moving into “Homecoming.”
The choice was fitting for a concert celebrating his return to his hometown.
He then moved through several of his biggest songs, including “Can’t Tell Me Nothing,” “N****s in Paris” and “Flashing Lights.”
The set continued across different eras of his career, giving longtime fans a mixture of classic material and newer songs.
The performance was part of Ye’s 2026 live concert tour and marked his first Chicago shows since the highly publicized Donda events at Soldier Field in 2021.
Chief Keef Joins Ye
One of the biggest Chicago moments came when Chief Keef joined Ye onstage.
The pair performed “Love Sosa” and “I Don’t Like,” bringing two generations of Chicago rap together.
The collaboration carried particular significance because Chief Keef’s music has had a major influence on Chicago’s modern hip-hop scene.
Their performance quickly became one of the highlights of the night.
Ye also welcomed Twista and performed “Overnight Celebrity” and “Slow Jamz,” another strong connection to Chicago’s rap history.
Travis Scott, Kid Cudi and Young Thug Appear
Ye continued bringing out major collaborators as the show progressed.
Kid Cudi appeared during the performance, while Travis Scott also joined Ye onstage.
Young Thug was another major guest.
Their appearances added to a night that already featured a remarkable number of artists.
Don Toliver, Rick Ross, Lupe Fiasco and Common were also among the performers who appeared during the second Chicago show.
The guest list made the concert feel less like a standard tour stop and more like a celebration of Ye’s musical relationships.
A G.O.O.D. Music Reunion
Another important theme of the night was Ye’s history with G.O.O.D. Music.
Consequence, CyHi The Prynce, GLC and Really Doe were among the artists who appeared during the performance.
Big Sean and 2 Chainz also returned after appearing during the first Chicago show.
The collection of former collaborators gave fans a reminder of the musical movement Ye built around G.O.O.D. Music during the 2000s and 2010s.
For many fans, those reunions were among the most nostalgic moments of the night.
Full Night Two Setlist
The second-night setlist was packed with songs spanning Ye’s career.
Among the reported performances were “Put On,” “Homecoming,” “Can’t Tell Me Nothing,” “N****s in Paris,” “Love Sosa,” “Flashing Lights,” “Stronger,” “Power,” “Bound 2,” “Heartless,” “Jesus Walks,” “Runaway,” “All of the Lights,” “Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1,” “Mercy” and “All the Love.”
Ye also performed newer material connected to his Bully era.
The concert continued late into the night, with reports putting the performance at roughly three hours.
Chicago Stars Take Center Stage
The second show stood out because Ye did not simply perform his own biggest records.
He used the occasion to spotlight artists connected to Chicago and his wider musical history.
Chief Keef, Twista, Lupe Fiasco, Common, GLC and Really Doe all helped give the concert a distinctly Chicago identity.
At the same time, appearances from Travis Scott, Kid Cudi, Young Thug, Rick Ross and Don Toliver expanded the show beyond the city.
The result was a performance that brought together different generations of hip-hop.
A Memorable Homecoming
Ye’s two-night return to Chicago gave fans a chance to see him revisit some of the songs that helped define his career.
The second night was particularly ambitious because of its extended runtime and huge guest lineup.
From Chief Keef and Twista to Travis Scott and Kid Cudi, the show repeatedly surprised the audience.
It also reinforced the importance of Chicago to Ye’s story.
Soldier Field has already played a major role in his career, most notably through the Donda listening events in 2021.
Five years later, Ye returned to the same venue and transformed it into a celebration of his past, present and Chicago roots.
Night Two ultimately delivered exactly what fans expected from a Ye homecoming: major hits, deep cuts, unexpected reunions and a stage filled with some of hip-hop’s biggest names.
