Kanye West announced on Instagram that he will perform in New Delhi, India on May 23, 2026, at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, calling it his "only performance in India." The announcement comes after multiple European shows were cancelled or postponed.
In the UK, West's headline slot at the Wireless Festival was cancelled, and he was reportedly blocked from entering the country by the Home Office. Prime Minister Keir Starmer called the decision to have West headline the festival "deeply concerning," stating that "anti-Semitism in any form is abhorrent and must be confronted firmly wherever it appears."

FC Basel cancelled West's concert after a review, saying they could not "provide a platform for the artist in question within this context" in accordance with their values. In Poland, the concert at Silesian Stadium was cancelled due to "formal and legal reasons," according to venue director Adam Strzyzewski. Poland's culture ministry was considering banning West from performing, with official Marta Cienkowska stating, "Who promotes Nazi ideology and makes money by selling T-shirts emblazoned with the swastika. In a country marked by the history of the Holocaust, we cannot pretend that this is just entertainment." West also postponed his French show after resistance.
It remains unclear whether the India concert will proceed as scheduled, and what specific reasons led to the Polish cancellation.
