Kanye West has been living at Mercedes-Benz Stadium since previewing the album for about 40,000 fans, and now he’s going to finish it up there with a livestream.

Apple Music has tweeted out an announcement about Kanye West’s planned launch of new album ‘Donda,’ urging fans to tune in as West “prepares and presents his 10th album #Donda, live from Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta during an exclusive livestream event.”

Tonight’s second listening event had already been announced, but the livestream is a new addition. So now, no matter where you are, you can tune in to the happening at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The album is expected to be released soon after the event.

The highly anticipated album is named for West’s late mother, who was a professor at Clark Atlanta University when West was born here in Atlanta. His father, Ray West, is a former AJC photojournalist.
