Kanye West has postponed his scheduled show in France indefinitely, saying it was his “sole decision” to do so.
The rapper had been set to perform at the Marseille Velodrome on June 11 as part of his 2026 world tour, in support of his new album ‘Bully’.
Taking to X/Twitter this morning (Wednesday April 15), however, West confirmed that the concert would not be taking place as planned.
“After much thought and consideration, it is my sole decision to postpone my show in Marseille, France until further notice,” he wrote.
Yesterday (Tuesday April 14), the French authorities confirmed that they were exploring possible options to ban West from entering the country owing to his antisemitic past (via Far Out).
The news comes after the controversial artist’s three bill-topping dates at London’s Wireless Festival were cancelled, in the wake of him being blocked from entering the UK by the government.
The booking had sparked significant backlash, including from Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who said it was “deeply concerning that Kanye West has been booked to perform at Wireless despite his previous antisemitic remarks and celebration of Nazism”.
In a follow-up tweet today, Ye wrote: “I know it takes time to understand the sincerity of my commitment to make amends. I take full responsibility for what’s mine but I don’t want to put my fans in the middle of it.
“My fans are everything to me. Looking forward to the next shows. See you at the top of the globe
