After weeding out his loyal listeners by making them throw down $200+ on a Stem Player to hear his newest album, DONDA 2, many Kanye West fans were left sad and bewildered after the album didn’t drop at midnight on its planned release date of 2.22.22, as many anticipated it would.

That said, have no fear, as you undoubtedly know, a day consists of 24 hours, so we still have hours to go before the palindromic date passes. However, it didn’t stop the haters from taking to Twitter to share some thoughts on the matter.

Anyway, we digress.
Now, for those in less of a petty mood, non-Stem Player owners, yet safe to assume Kanye fans nonetheless (otherwise, why are you still here?) — we have some news we think you’ll like.
There are ways you can hear Ye’s new album without the invented technological device that he announced last week. With that said, we would like to note the additional ways are rather particular and also kind of exclusive in their own way.
On Tuesday at 9 PM ET, fans can catch DONDA 2 in IMAX theaters, however only in a select 26 states. Officially dubbed IMAX Presents Kanye West: Donda Experience Performance 2 22 22, the event, will be a live stream of West’s album listening party concert from loanDepot Park Stadium in Miami, Florida. Which in itself is another way to hear the album, if you’re in the area. Tickets to live listening party in Miami are available online, starting at $93.
As of now, no announcements have been made on whether or not the event will be available to stream online. So if you don’t own a Stem Player, the options mentioned above are the only ways you’ll be able to hear DONDA 2.
And actually, now that we think about it, for those over 6,200 of you, who did bite the bullet and buy the Stem Player, making Ye around $1.3 million, the album will most likely drop right before or after the live listening event (but also maybe don’t take our word for it… it is Kanye, so you never know).
