A Kanye West concert in Poland has been cancelled, the venue has announced, following government pressure and condemnation over a string of antisemitic, racist and pro-Nazi comments by the US rapper
West, also known as Ye, was scheduled to appear at the Silesian Stadium in Chorzów on 19 June, his first performance in Poland for 15 years, but the venue said on Friday it would now not take place “due to formal and legal reasons”.
Marta Cienkowska, Poland’s culture and heritage minister, had described the decision to book West as “unacceptable”.
It comes days after West postponed a gig in France and a week after the UK banned him from entering the country to headline Wireless Festival.
