Wireless Festival has been cancelled after the Home Office withdrew Kanye's ETA, denying him entry to the UK.

Festival Republic confirmed the decision in a statement, saying all ticket holders will receive refunds.

A spokesperson said: "The Home Office has withdrawn Ye's ETA, denying him entry into the United Kingdom."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."

"As with every Wireless Festival, multiple stakeholders were consulted in advance of booking Ye and no concerns were highlighted at the time.

"Antisemitism in all its forms is abhorrent, and we recognise the real and personal impact these issues have had."

"As Ye said today, he acknowledges that words alone are not enough, and in spite of this still hopes to be given the opportunity to begin a conversation with the Jewish community in the UK."

The Home Office's decision follows mounting criticism of Kanye's past behaviour and antisemitic comments.

A spokesman for Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said earlier: "Decisions are taken on a case-by-case basis in line with the law and the evidence available, but where individuals pose a threat to public safety or seek to spread extremism, the Government has not hesitated to act, and that includes cancelling permission to enter this country for extremist preachers and far-right figures."
