Kanye West Expected To Debut 'Jesus Is King' Album At Detroit Show Tonight

The speculation about Kanye West’s new album Jesus is King continues to rage. The album did not arrive at midnight like normal releases, disappointing fans who were hoping to hear it.

Kanye has announced a surprise show at The Fox Theater in Detroit, Michigan tonight which is officially titled “Jesus Is King: A Kanye West Experience.” Although it doesn’t explicitly say that ‘Ye will perform songs off his new album but going by the name of the event, we can assume that is what will happen.

Kanye West's publicist, Trevian Kutti, says 'Jesus Is King' will drop tonight at 8PM tonight (time zone not specified)

Interestingly, Kanye/show runners have decided to make the event phone-free by partnering with phone-free space company YONDR. “The tour has partnered with YONDR and upon entry with the mobile ticket, cell phones and smart phones will be locked in a YONDR pouch until after the show,” the info on the event’s site says. It means that all fans’ phones will be locked in a pouch which can only be opened after the show with a special device in the lobby.

There is no information about a live stream but going by the no-phone rule, it’s unlikely it will happen.
