Kanye West Broadens ‘Bully’ Tour To Include Wireless Festival Engagement

Kanye West is scheduled to headline all three nights of London’s Wireless Festival this summer. He will perform at the Finsbury Park-based festival on July 10, 11, and 12, coinciding with JAY-Z’s return to the stage at NYC’s Yankee Stadium, where he will celebrate the anniversaries of his albums Reasonable Doubt and The Blueprint.

This performance marks West’s first appearance in the UK since his headlining set at Glastonbury in 2015. He is the second North American rapper to headline the Wireless Festival solo, following Drake, who had a series of performances in 2025 that celebrated R&B, hip-hop, UK rap/grime, dancehall, and afrobeats.

At this time, it is unknown whether West, the only confirmed act for the 2026 Wireless Festival, plans to feature any special guests or how he will organize his sets.

Pre-sale tickets will be available next Tuesday, April 7, with general sales starting Wednesday, April 8, at 12pm BST / 5pm ET.

Wireless Festival is part of a larger series of international performances by West to promote his new album Bully, which was released on streaming services last week after several delays.

He has also announced two shows at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 1 and 3, followed by a sequence of arena concerts in Turkey, the Netherlands, France, Italy, and Spain between May 30 and July 30.

West aims to address some of the consequences resulting from his controversial statements in recent years, which included remarks directed at Jewish people and expressions of admiration for Adolf Hitler. These comments led to the loss of his partnership with adidas and other business deals.

In January, he provided a detailed apology in The Wall Street Journal, stating he is “not a Nazi” and attributing his offensive behavior to undiagnosed brain injuries from a car accident in 2002. He expressed regret for his past actions while emphasizing his commitment to accountability and meaningful change.
