Kanye West Has Two More European Shows Cancelled
Organisers cited values and legal reasons as backlash over his antisemitic remarks forced more tour dates off the schedule.
- Kanye West's scheduled performances in Poland and Switzerland were cancelled this weekend, marking significant setbacks for the rapper's European tour. Silesian Stadium in Chorzow and FC Basel both withdrew from hosting the musician.
- Poland's Culture Minister Marta Cienkowska condemned the planned show, citing West's history of anti-Semitic remarks and admiration for Nazi leader Adolf Hitler. She stated the decision was "unacceptable" in a nation scarred by Holocaust history.
- FC Basel officials stated the concert was "not in accordance with our values" after a "thorough review." The club declined to provide a platform for the artist at St. Jakob-Park, their home stadium.
- These cancellations follow the postponement of West's Marseille, France, show "until further notice" and the cancellation of London's Wireless Festival. UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer defended barring the rapper, stating the government stands "firmly with the Jewish community."
- West's remaining European tour dates include performances in Turkey on May 30, the Netherlands on June 6 and 8, Italy on July 18, Madrid on July 30, and Portugal on August 7. These venues have not announced cancellations.
