Kanye West, now going by Ye, has had his June 19 concert in Chorzów, Poland canceled after the culture minister condemned his antisemitic remarks and argued he should not perform in a country scarred by the Holocaust.

Slaski Stadium, which seats over 54,000 after its 2017 upgrades, canceled the event for formal and legal reasons, with the decision supported by government pressure and the foreign ministry.

The cancellation fits a broader European pattern of obstacles to Ye’s appearances, including a postponed show in France and a UK travel ban that affected a festival appearance.

The reporting author, Zachary Horvath, is identified as a music freelance news writer for HotNewHipHop.

An exclusive Expresso piece about the Algarve event notes ongoing scrutiny of Ye’s conduct and its impact on tour decisions.

Billboard notes Ye released the Bully album and recently performed in the U.S., with two SoFi Stadium shows in early April.

Holocaust survivors and advocacy groups are urging more European governments to scrutinize remaining venues and consider cancelations when necessary.

Between March and June, Ye released a track Heil Hitler and attributed his past statements to a custody dispute and asset freezes, reinforcing antisemitic narratives.

This would have marked Ye’s first Poland headline appearance in over 15 years, with his 2011 Coke Live Music Festival the last Poland stop.

Ye has previously apologized for his behavior, disavowed admiration for Adolf Hitler, and cited health issues as factors; no public statement addressing the Poland cancellation had been issued at the time.

Raya Culture, which organized the Portugal concert, said information suggested all was fine and awaited official municipal decisions in Faro and Loulé.

The Poland cancellation ends a high-profile summer stop in the region, marking Ye’s return to Poland after more than a decade.
