Kanye West Wireless Festival Announcement Sees Fans Fume 'Shame on You'
The three-night residency will feature songs from his back catalogue as West returns to UK stages for the first time in more than a decade.
- On Monday, organizers announced that rapper Kanye 'Ye' West will headline all three nights of Wireless Festival 2026, set for July 10-12 at Finsbury Park in London.
- West's return follows years of controversy involving antisemitic remarks and praise for Adolf Hitler, which prompted brands including Adidas to sever ties with him in 2022.
- The Jewish Leadership Council and the Campaign Against Antisemitism condemned the booking, calling it 'deeply irresponsible' and citing West's history of spreading antisemitic messaging.
- Marking his first UK performances in over a decade, West is billing the residency as a three-night journey through his discography, with tickets available starting today.
- West recently released his 12th studio album, 'Bully,' and scheduled European tour dates, though collaborator James Blake requested removal from producer credits over the final result.
