The UK Government has denied Kanye West’s ETA (Electronic Travel Authorisation) and as a result, Wireless Festival has been cancelled this year, with the festival organizers saying “refunds will be issued to all ticket holders.”

Kanye West, now simply known as Ye, was due to headline the 110-acre and 50,000 capacity festival in Finsbury Park, London, in July for his first UK concerts in 11 years. However, Ye’s online comments have garnered more attention than his music in recent years, with the rapper often taking to social media with antisemitic, racist and pro-Nazi comments.
