Kanye West is set to headline all three nights of the Wireless Festival in 2026.
The rapper, also known as Ye, will mark his return to the U.K. stage with performances scheduled for July 10, 11, and 12 at Finsbury Park.
This will be his first U.K. performance in over a decade, following his headline appearance at Glastonbury Festival and a surprise show at Koko in 2015. He last headlined Wireless in 2014.
Festival organisers described the shows as “a three-night journey through Ye’s most iconic records.”
“From The College Dropout, to Graduation, to Late Registration, to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and The Life of Pablo, Kanye West has created albums that have pushed boundaries and redefined hip hop – in doing so, he established a new sonic blueprint and cemented an enduring, undeniable legacy on the culture,” their statement reads.
“Fresh from releasing his new album Bully, Ye’s UK comeback will be an extraordinary chapter in Wireless’ story.”
While the rest of the lineup is yet to be announced, tickets are expected to go on general sale on April 8.
Kanye West has faced significant backlash in recent years over antisemitic and racist remarks, which impacted several of his business partnerships. In January, he issued a public apology through a full-page advert in The Wall Street Journal, addressing both Jewish and Black communities.
He later told Vanity Fair that his apology was not an attempt at “reviving (his) commerciality,” stating, “This is because these remorseful feelings were so heavy on my heart and weighing on my spirit.”
Following multiple delays, the rapper recently released his new album Bully.
Beyond Wireless, Kanye West is also scheduled to perform at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 1 and 3, with additional concerts planned across countries including India, Turkey, the Netherlands, Italy, France, Spain, and Portugal later in the summer.
