Evidence note (master store)

Kanye West held a Donda listening party at Soldier Field, Chicago, on August 26, 2021 — his hometown listening party for the then-unreleased Donda album, after two Atlanta listening events (NME). Stored year (2021) and Soldier Field venue are confirmed; this was a one-off album listening event, not a recurring festival.
