Kanye West traded in the Tuscan sun for a cool day in Ireland Friday, but for a good reason.
The 46-year-old rapper caused quite a stir after he was spotted with members of his entourage at the Premium Services private terminal at the Dublin Airport.
The Off The Grid artist boarded a private airplane in order to take in the performance of his pal Steve Lacy, 25, at the Electric Picnic Festival, where an ailing Billie Eilish headlined on Friday.
The Grammy winner was dressed in a black jacket and black pants in photo of him hugging the Dark Red singer.
Kanye had covered his head with what appeared to be a scarf to keep a low profile at the festival, where some 50,000 music fans had gathered in the county of Laois.

The brotherly affection did not go completely unnoticed.
A concert goer grabbed a quick snap of the two musicians as they shared a hug.
According to Hot New Hip Hop, Ye and Steve have been friends for quite some time.
They even got matching tattoos, along with Uzi Vert, in 2022.
Kanye travelled to the Emerald Isle without his partner Bianca Censori, 28.
The pair married in a non-legal ceremony in January, shortly after Kanye’s divorce from Kim Kardashian, 42, was finalized.
Although their union has no legal binding, Kanye wears a wedding ring on his left hand.
The ‘newlyweds’ caused more than a little outrage earlier in the week when the troubled artist was seen sitting bare bottomed on boat in Venice.
