Overview
- Festival Republic confirmed Monday that Ye will play July 10–12 at Finsbury Park, his first UK performances in about 11 years.
- Ticket sales roll out in stages with a PayPal presale Thursday, a Wireless presale Tuesday, and general sale Wednesday at noon local time.
- The announcement drew swift online backlash, and London’s mayor said Ye’s past actions are “offensive and wrong” while stressing City Hall did not make the booking.
- Major Jewish organizations, including the Jewish Leadership Council and the Board of Deputies, condemned the decision and raised safety concerns in a period of rising antisemitism.
- The booking follows Ye’s new album Bully released March 28 and a January Wall Street Journal apology citing a bipolar diagnosis and a prior brain injury, and organizers have not indicated any change to the lineup.
