Wireless festival

[coollino]

Their headliner has been banned from entering the UK

Is this the right thing to do or is this Sir Kier Starmer banning art?

 

[Eggs]

…..think I heard he’s also banned from Australia, if he’s banned from here I assume it’s the Home Office rather than the PM. Even if he didn’t hold extreme views, I’d not be in the least interested in going to see him

Kanye is a weirdo, ban all weirdos.

Kanye not just get somebody else to headline?

Didn't even know he was a music act - although I have heard of him, mainly because from what people say about what he posts. Seems a thoroughly unpleasant person - no place for and of that to he brought into in the UK to earn money ... we have our own.

Looking forward to the ‘just asking questions’ brigade’s take on this.

Too easy, that. Blaming the government too.

For that, I'd be banning Leeds and Reading festivals...

So your headliner is banned and you cancel a whole festival? They deffo just cba putting it on.
