Kanye West to Headline Wireless Festival Amid Tour Expansion

Kanye West is making waves this summer as he headlines all three nights of London’s prestigious Wireless Festival. Scheduled for July 10, 11, and 12, this performance will mark his first return to the UK since his acclaimed set at Glastonbury in 2015.

The festival coincides with a significant milestone in the music world, as JAY-Z will be performing at NYC’s Yankee Stadium during the same weekend to celebrate the anniversaries of his iconic albums, Reasonable Doubt and The Blueprint.

West, who recently released his new album Bully, is currently the only confirmed act for the 2026 Wireless Festival. His inclusion follows Drake's successful solo headlining stint in 2025, which celebrated the diversity of R&B, hip-hop, UK rap/grime, and other genres.

Although details about his setlist and potential guest appearances remain under wraps, excitement is building as pre-sale tickets will be available on April 7, with general sales starting on April 8 at 12 PM BST / 5 PM ET.

In addition to the Wireless Festival, Kanye West has planned international performances, including two shows at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium on April 1 and 3, followed by concerts across Turkey, the Netherlands, France, Italy, and Spain from May 30 to July 30. This tour aims to promote his latest album, which was released on streaming platforms last week after several delays.

West's recent performances come at a time when he is attempting to mend his public image following controversial remarks made in recent years, which led to the loss of his Yeezy partnership with adidas. In January, he issued an apology in The Wall Street Journal, clarifying his stance and expressing remorse for his past actions while emphasizing his commitment to accountability and change.
