Wireless Festival cancelled after government stops Kanye West entering UK (bbc.co.uk)

Wireless Festival has been cancelled after the UK government blocked Kanye West’s entry, withdrawing his visa permission. Organisers said refunds would be issued to ticket holders, following Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s view that West “should never have been invited” due to his past antisemitic and other controversial comments. The announcement comes after several major sponsors had already pulled back their support ahead of the festival’s planned July run in London.
