Overview
- The UK government revoked Kanye West’s entry, which led to the cancellation of his Wireless Festival appearances in London.
- His Italian date at Reggio Emilia’s RCF Arena on July 18 remains on the schedule as a headline slot at the Helwatt Festival.
- Organizers told Italian media the show is confirmed and reported 68,000 tickets sold for the date.
- ANPI Reggio Emilia, the Cisl trade union, and Adelmo Cervi urged stopping the show, with Cervi saying a performer who displays swastikas should not take the stage anywhere.
- Cisl’s Rosamaria Papaleo asked the mayor to arrange a meeting between the rapper and the local Jewish community, while West has previously apologized and linked his past remarks to bipolar disorder.
