Wireless Festival has been cancelled for the first time in its 21-year history after headliner Kanye West was denied entry into the UK to perform – and now it’s been estimated that the saga could cost the festival over £30m in potential earnings.
The London-based festival, which is owned and managed by entertainment company Live Nation and its subsidiary Festival Republic, announced on Tuesday (7 April) that the three-night event would not go ahead in July after West’s Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) was cancelled.
