The Wireless music festival has been cancelled after the artist formerly known as Kanye West was banned from entering the UK amid a deepening political row over his previous antisemitic statements.
West, who is legally known as Ye, made an application to travel to the UK via an Electronic Travel Authorisation on Monday but it has been blocked by officials.
A spokesperson for the festival confirmed it would no longer go ahead in July after the government decision was announced, and said refunds would be issued to those who had already bought tickets.
The statement read: “The Home Office has withdrawn Ye’s ETA, denying him entry into the United Kingdom. As a result, Wireless festival is cancelled and refunds will be issued to all ticket holders.
Why not both?
Sure, that’d be the third option. The first option doesn’t necessarily mean they support the guys… “ideas”
they cant be that ignorant to not know who he supports now, they know full well, its like the HP fans. hes been doing this for years already. my bro loves him and hes completely ignorant to his anti-semitic behaviour, and he knows that he is that way, he just blows it off as fake news or misinformation.
