Britain’s popular Wireless music festival has been cancelled after U.S. rapper Kanye West was blocked from entering the country, organizers confirmed on Tuesday.
In a statement, Festival Republic said the decision followed a move by the UK’s interior ministry to deny West entry. As a result, the highly anticipated event will no longer take place.
The organizers also announced that full refunds will be issued to all ticket holders affected by the cancellation.
No further details were immediately provided regarding the reasons behind the entry ban.
