CHORZÓW, Poland — April 17, 2026 — A planned concert by rapper and fashion mogul Kanye West at Poland’s Silesian Stadium has been canceled, following mounting political pressure and controversy surrounding the artist’s past public statements.
Officials at the Śląski (Silesian) Stadium confirmed the June 19 event would not go ahead, citing “formal and legal reasons,” according to local reports. The cancellation follows calls from Polish officials to prevent the performance from taking place.
Poland’s culture minister had publicly opposed the concert, arguing that hosting West was inappropriate given his past antisemitic remarks and comments praising Nazism, particularly in a country deeply marked by the history of the Holocaust.
The decision comes amid broader backlash in Europe. Reports indicate a planned performance in France was postponed, while British authorities had previously moved to block West from entering the United Kingdom for a separate festival appearance.
The cancellation has drawn international attention, adding to growing questions about the impact of political and social controversy on live entertainment and touring artists.
Neither West nor his representatives immediately issued a public statement regarding the cancellation. Details about ticket refunds or whether the concert will be rescheduled have not yet been announced.
The development marks the latest in a series of disruptions affecting West’s international performances.
