Wireless Festival is cancelled after UK government stops Kanye West (the headline act) from entering the country over his past antisemitic remarks
A popular London music festival has been canceled after Kanye West, who was billed as the headliner for three nights, was blocked from traveling to the United Kingdom.
The announcement that West, who is known as Ye, would headline the Wireless Festival had sparked criticism from Jewish groups and politicians, who highlighted his repeated antisemitic remarks in recent years.
The backlash saw major sponsors Pepsi and Diageo withdraw from the event, which had been scheduled for July 10-12.
