Kanye West is set to headline all three nights of the 2026 Wireless Festival in London.
The controversial rapper, also known as Ye, will make his live comeback in the U.K. when he takes to the main stage at London’s Finsbury Park to perform three headline sets on 10, 11 and 12 July.
The festival will be Kanye’s first U.K. performance in more than a decade, after he headlined Glastonbury and performed a surprise gig at London’s Koko in 2015. He last topped the bill at Wireless in 2014.
Wireless organisers have described the shows as “a three-night journey through Ye’s most iconic records”.
“From The College Dropout, to Graduation, to Late Registration, to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and The Life of Pablo, Ye has created albums that have pushed boundaries and redefined hip hop – in doing so, he established a new sonic blueprint and cemented an enduring, undeniable legacy on the culture,” their statement reads.
“Fresh from releasing his new album Bully, Ye’s UK comeback will be an extraordinary chapter in Wireless’ story.”
The rest of the bill has yet to be announced. Tickets will go on general sale on 8 April.
Kanye has fallen out of grace in recent years due to his antisemitic and racist remarks, which have cost him lucrative business deals and partnerships.
In January, he took out a full-page advert in The Wall Street Journal to apologise to both Jewish and Black communities for his controversial comments. He attributed some of his past behaviour to his bipolar disorder diagnosis and a car accident 25 years ago that he claimed damaged his frontal lobe.
He later insisted to Vanity Fair that his apology wasn’t an attempt at “reviving (his) commerciality”, adding, “This is because these remorseful feelings were so heavy on my heart and weighing on my spirit.”
After being delayed several times, the rapper released his new album Bully over the weekend.
In addition to the Wireless shows, the 48-year-old is set to perform at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on 1 and 3 April.
According to his official website, Kanye also has concerts lined up in India, Turkey, the Netherlands, Italy, France, Spain and Portugal over the summer.
