**Kanye West’s concert in Poland has been canceled**, representatives of the Silesian Stadium in Chorzow announced. Earlier, Minister of Culture Marta Cienkowska warned that the government could block his entry into Poland.
“We inform you that the concert of Ye (Kanye West) scheduled for June 19, 2026, at the Silesian Stadium will not take place due to formal and legal reasons,” a statement posted on the arena’s Facebook profile on Friday after 4:00 PM read. The statement was signed by the facility’s director, Adam Strzyżewski.
# Protest from the Minister of Culture
On Thursday, Minister of Culture Marta Cienkowska protested the concert, describing it as “unacceptable.” On Friday, she stated that the government could prevent Ye from entering Poland. “I hope the concert organizers come to their senses. As the Polish state, we have the tools to block individuals from entering the country. If necessary, we will use them,” she declared.
“I cannot imagine that in Poland—a country where people were murdered in Nazi German death camps—we could organize a concert for a creator who openly and publicly says he likes Hitler, promotes Nazi ideology, and profits from the sale of T-shirts with swastikas,” Cienkowska emphasized.
She stressed her absolute opposition to the event. “This is the promotion of hate speech, and no organizer in Poland should contribute to this in any way,” she added.
“If the concert is not indeed canceled, the Ministry of Culture will issue appropriate letters to the Minister of Interior and Administration, Marcin Kierwiński, who has the power to block specific individuals from entering the country. (…) I have contacted the stadium organizers responsible for this facility. I warned them that I would be taking such steps. I have also consulted with Deputy Prime Minister Radosław Sikorski, who shares my opinion on this matter. We have a concrete position on this, and I will not change it,” the head of the culture ministry underlined.
# Pro-Nazi Artist
Kanye West, one of the most famous rappers in the world, has stirred controversy for several years with his statements and behavior. The greatest outrage was sparked by a series of antisemitic social media posts in which he glorified Nazi ideology. West was also criticized for selling T-shirts with swastikas and publicly expressing admiration for Adolf Hitler.
The artist maintains that his media behavior was the result of a deepening mental health crisis. He confessed to having experienced a manic-psychotic episode.
Recently, he canceled his concert in Marseille, France, indefinitely. Local authorities were among those expressing opposition to that performance. Previously, authorities in the United Kingdom refused him entry, where he was scheduled to perform at a summer festival in London.
The organizer of West’s concert in Poland is Projekt Hałas!, and the owner of the Silesian Stadium in Chorzow is the Marshal’s Office of the Silesian Voivodeship.

Maybe he can do the entire tour in The Netherlands, because his shows here aren’t cancelled (yet). Why have principles, when you can make money.

Kinda hard to host a concert when the main act is a Hitler sympathizer and sells swastika shirts on his website.

I think EU should create blanket ban on any Trump/MAGA align “personalities”. To quote lady who would be 1000 times better POTUS than Tramp v1.0, they are all deplorable.

At this point he could go to Russia. We welcome him in Moscow and Saint-P
This will continue happening to him over and over again. I guess someone should have told him that befriending Authoritarians and shouting fascist rhetoric would derail his career.

Thank you Poland for actually having common sense, reflecting on the tragic events caused by Nazis and rightfully banning that devilish bastard from the country.

Imagine thinking it was okay to give a platform to someone who made a song called Hel Hitler in the same country as Auschwitz.

Ban him from Schengen completely, [like we did with Richard Spencer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_B._Spencer#European_Union_bans). He can go chill with Steven Segal in Belarus.

Fuck Nazis.
Oh no! Anyways…
