Kanye West‘s London music festival has no chance of happening — sponsors or not. Because he was just BANNED from going to the UK!
According to The Guardian, Ye made an application to travel to the UK through the Electronic Travel Authorization, but was blocked on Monday! After all of his controversies over the years, it seems like officials for the country want nothing to do with him anymore.
And due to this, the Wireless Festival he was due to headline has been cancelled altogether. On Instagram, they released a statement:
“The Home Office has withdrawn Ye’s ETA, denying him entry into the United Kingdom. As a result, Wireless festival is cancelled and refunds will be issued to all ticket holders.”
