Kayne West is headline WIreless
Kanye West is headlining Wireless Festival 2026, marking the rapper’s first UK show in more than a decade. West – know known as Ye – will perform a “three-night journey” of his biggest hits at Finsbury Park on July 10 – July 12.
He last topped the bill at Wireless in 2014, where he was booed on stage after launching into a mid-set rant about his creative projects and media treatment. The 48-year-old hasn’t played to a UK audience since Glastonbury 2015.
Announcing the news, Wireless Festival said: “From The College Dropout, to Graduation, to Late Registration, to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and The Life of Pablo, Ye 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.
“Fresh from releasing his new album Bully, Ye’s UK comeback will be an extraordinary chapter in Wireless’ story.”
More acts are set to be announced for the line-up. The announcement comes days after Ye premiered his 12th studio album online and shared the music video for Father featuring Travis Scott.
Since Bully’s release, producer James Blake has asked to be removed from the credits, saying the final result is “not what I created”. In January, Ye apologised for past anti-semitic remarks he said were made during a bipolar episode.
Ye also addressed the Black community, saying he had let them down. He shared details of falling into a four-month manic state in 2025. This consisted of “psychotic, paranoid and impulsive behaviour that destroyed my life”, he said.
