Kanye West Headlines Wireless Festival Amid Antisemitism Concerns

0:00On April 2, Kanye West is set to headline all three days of the wireless festival in London Spinsbury Park this July. Haringie liberal Democrats are blasting the booking, pointing to his history of anti-submitted comments as the main reason. This news drops just days after local counselors unanimously backed a motion to fight right-wing hatred. Haringie stands out as one of the UK's most diverse spots, home to a strong Jewish community. Liberal Democrat leader Counselor Lou Colley Harrison calls it a straight-up contradiction. He says the council can condemn hate one day and cash in on a performer linked to that kind of rhetoric the next, especially in a public park. The Lib Dems already flagged their worries to the council's chief executive and want clear steps on handling the show. Organizers just locked in a five-year deal to use the park through 2032. Council officials say the festival licensee has to make sure no acts target races or religions and they're pushing for reminders to all performers this summer.
