I’m not too keen on Governments blocking travel for anyone who isn’t actively violent.
But in this case, it’s kinda funny.

Wonder what Wireless will do now after they doubled down?

Excellent decision. Although another tedious Trump meltdown in 3… 2… 1…

I despise Kanye West and find it ridiculous he was booked
Though I’ve got to ask, he is doing a world tour and has had no issues in Europe, or its hardly even been mentioned, but here people have. People are also praising Pepsi and co for pulling out but we can bet a fair whack that they are supplying/sponsoring venues he is performing at elsewhere
This all feels very performative by everyone. Wireless for booking him and then government to be seen to be doing something

Probably done so Wireless has a clause to get out of their contract with Kanye and not be forced to pay the full fee (you can bet they have been scrambling to get him off the billing to lure back sponsors).

Doubt will make much difference considering what Trump just posted.

Good. Fuck that guy. His lack of attendance is of no loss to anybody

Wireless is the shittest event on the calendar – it absolutely isn’t a festival so I’m refusing to call it that – so I hope it falls flat on its face this year and never recovers.

Not necessarily complaining (although I’m not sure how I feel about this. I don’t think a visa should be blocked unless someone is a physical or social threat to the country) but I hope this same energy is kept if Elon Musk ever tries to come to the UK.

While funny, this is also a bad look when your openly letting in people with convictions, criminals and artists convicted of beating the shit out of their partners.

Well…
I guess that solves the problem of whether to let him perform or not

The UK government is happy to let IDF soldiers travel freely to the UK…

Literally invited an Israeli minister wanted for war crimes but they block Kanye.

Can’t believe how many fans were supporting him over this. I know plenty of people with mental health conditions, and none of them made a song about hitler or sold nazi merchandise.
Not even sure why festival republic went for this booking. They’re just as complicit with their doubling down statements. Couldn’t have happened to a better bunch of people.

Wasn’t there a literal terrorist welcomed into downing street in the last week? Ahmed al-Sharaa?
What is going on with the double standards here?

Starmer was shaking hands with a former ISIS commander last week btw

Purely performative. If he was the big bad why is he still being played on the radio and on the tv? The government want to be seen as “resisting” this sort of culture but I wouldn’t be surprised whatsoever if this whole thing is walked back and he’s performing at the festival

Sometimes I think 🤔 he does crazy stuff to get out of contracts . But then I saw when he was at TMZ saying slavery a choice Charlie Kirk was there . So they known each other from way back . So I think info was shared and now Kirk is gone he has shut the hell up .

Imagine buying a Kanye ticket at 10am and by 2pm he’s been banned from the country.

If there were a „every“ between by and government, I would give it an upvote

So we’re happy to let Israeli President & Foreign Minister visit while they oversee a genocide, but draw the line at Kanye West?
