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The statement read: “The Home Office has withdrawn Ye’s ETA, denying him entry into the United Kingdom.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.
Except he still somehow draws crowds of people who agrees with his views. It’s a damning commentary on our society.
Also those who claim to “separate the art from the artist.”
they tried to justify it with crosby, i was watching a yt video where a bunch of guest said to the main owners , said he coulve drawn his inspiration from SA-ing/ SH people
Yeah but as we can see, it wasn’t a good money making decision. And it wasn’t that difficult to predict that would be the case. If a moron like me saw this coming, surely the festival people should have also.
But from what I’ve witnessed in the past… decade or two, the people in charge of things are utter morons.
From the article …
So they were aware, didn’t care or supported his madness. I hope they feel some consequences.
