UK government stopped Kanye West playing Wireless
Wireless Festival in north London was cancelled following significant sponsor withdrawals and public backlash. This occurred after the festival announced Ye, known as Kanye West, as a headliner for its 10-12 July dates. The UK government intervened, refusing him entry into the country after major sponsors like Pepsi and Diageo pulled their involvement.
