If you don’t have tickets to Kanye West’s Saint Pablo tour, it’s time to get some, because Yeezy’s latest stunt might be his greatest yet.
As fans filed into the Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, confusion took over as those in attendance realize the most conspicuous thing possible: there was no stage set up for the show.

Even Kanye’s manager had no idea what was going on.

It wasn’t clear immediately what the plan was but obviously Kanye had something crazy prepared, and when the show finally started, crazy was exactly what the fans on hand got.

Instead of a traditional stage Kanye strapped himself to a floating platform and simply hovered above the crowd. It’s surreal and so very Kanye that you probably shouldn’t be surprised, but can’t help but be amazed. The man who dubbed himself a God, was now floating above his disciples, illuminated by glowing lights and if it wasn’t meant to make him Godly, you can rest assured that ‘Ye was at least going for angelic and the way those below him reacted he probably achieved it.
Kanye’s floating, illuminated traveling show will continue through November for nearly 40 shows throughout the US and Canada. Tickets for the Saint Pablo tour can be purchased on his website here.
