Kanye West has been announced as the headliner of London's Wireless Festival in July, with both the city's mayor, Sadiq Khan, and the Jewish Leadership Council condemning the decision. In a statement shared by The Guardian, a spokesperson for Mayor Khan stated that the artist's past comments and actions were offensive and wrong, and not reflective of London’s values. The Jewish leadership council also criticised the decision, stating that West has used his platform to spread antisemitism and pro-Nazi messaging. In an open apology letter in January 2026, West publicly recanted his racist rhetoric and blamed "medical oversight" for his erratic behavior.
