More Kanye West Shows Cancelled After Wireless Festival Controversy
Earlier this month, it was announced that Ye – formerly known as Kanye West – would headline all three nights at Wireless in London’s Finsbury Park this coming July.
Since then, it’s been revealed that Ye’s upcoming gigs in Poland and Switzerland have now been axed, too.
“FCB received an enquiry and considered it,” they said in a statement. “However, after thorough review, we have decided not to proceed with the project, as we cannot, in accordance with our values, provide a platform for the artist in question within this context.”
In January 2026, Ye – who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder a decade ago – issued a public apology for his behaviour in a full-page magazine ad, addressed “to those I’ve hurt” with his antisemitic outbursts, claiming they occurred during a months-long manic episode in which he had “lost touch with reality”.
Last week, he also announced he was postponing a show in Paris following reports that the French government was considering options to block him from performing in the city.
