Kanye West to close Call of Duty XP event

Kanye West will play at Call of Duty XP in Los Angeles next week.

The rapper's closing night performance at the gaming expo will be his first since the release of his latest album Watch the Throne with Jay-Z.

All attendees at the expo will be guaranteed a place at the concert, which will take place on Saturday, September 3.

Announced in June, Call of Duty XP will feature a $1 million tournament as well as smaller contests with real prizes.

Attendees can play paintball in a life-size recreation of Modern Warfare 2 map Scrapyard, as well as have the chance to run training ground The Pit for real.

Other attractions include early hands-on with Modern Warfare 3's multiplayer, the full reveal of Call of Duty: Elite's features, and a themed food complex.

Call of Duty XP will run on September 2 and 3 within the Los Angeles area.
