Kanye West’s concert in Poland has been cancelled days after the rapper postponed a show in France amid outrage over his anti-Semitic comments.
‘We would like to inform you that the Ye (Kanye West) concert planned for June 19, 2026, at the… Slaski stadium will not take place due to formal and legal reasons,’ stadium director Adam Strzyzewski said in a statement posted on Facebook.
Authorities in Poland had already signalled they would seek to ban the planned June 19 concert.
The decision by the Slaski stadium in the western city of Chorzow, first reported by Wyborcza newspaper on its website, comes after the UK banned West’s entry into the country, forcing him to cancel appearances there. He also postponed a concert in Marseille, France, due to mounting opposition from city officials.
Wireless has since been cancelled amid calls for the annual celebration of urban music to be indefinitely axed over its decision to overlook West’s unsavoury track record of anti-Semitism.
Holocaust survivors have called on other European countries to take similar steps against the controversial rapper.
Ye has also been barred from Australia, but he was able to perform in the US and Mexico City this year.
