Kanye West under pressure amid concert cancellation

Kanye West, who was previously not allowed to enter the UK, faced new but similar troubles in Poland as well.

The American rapper recently released his hit album, Bully, after many years, and now he is all set for his 2026 World Tour.

One of the concerts that was originally scheduled for June 19, 2026, officially got canceled as the announcement was made by Adam Strzyżewski, who is the director of the Silesian Stadium in Chorzów.

The news release stated that due to “formal and legal reasons”, they have come to this decision to not let the father of four perform there.

Adam added, "We are talking about an artist who has publicly expressed antisemitic views, This is a deliberate crossing of boundaries and the normalisation of hatred... Culture cannot be a space for those who exploit it to spread hatred."

This comes after the Flashing Lights hit maker postponed a gig in France which followed him getting banned in the UK after he was set to headline Wireless Festival.

The songwriter was known for his "antisemitic views, downplayed crimes, and profited from selling swastika T-shirts."

Notably, in Poland, promoting Nazi symbols is a criminal offence and can cause a person to go to jail for up to three years.

It is to be noted that the music festival in the UK is "postponed till further notice."
