The artist formerly known as Kanye West is expected to pack the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum with the help of the artist still currently known as Drake.

Tickets are on sale for the Dec. 9 “Free Larry Hoover Benefit Concert,” where West, who now goes by Ye, is performing at the 75,000-plus capacity venue at Exposition Park along with Drake.

The show is meant to raise awareness and support for Hoover, a gang member who co-founded Chicago’s Gangster Disciples. Hoover is serving six life sentences for murder, conspiracy and other crimes. According to the Coliseum website, the concert is supposed to raise awareness for prison and sentencing reform.

Ye has previously advocated for the release of Hoover. The concert also apparently marks the end of a long-running feud between the rappers, who have dissed each other in songs and on social media for years.

The Coliseum concert will be the first time Drake is scheduled to performs since his appearance in the Astroworld Festival, which resulted in the deaths of 10 people and hundreds injured in early November.

Tickets start at $200 and are available at lacoliseum.com.
