Swiss football club FC Basel has cancelled a Kanye West concert, becoming the latest European ‌venue to stop or postpone the US rapper’s performances amid ‌a furore over his past anti-Semitic comments.

FC Basel, which is responsible for concerts and events that take place at their St Jakob-Park ground, said after a ‌thorough review ‌of the ⁠request for West to perform they decided ​against his performance going ahead.

“FCB received an inquiry and considered it. However, after thorough review, we have decided not to proceed with the project, as we cannot, in ⁠accordance with our values, ‌provide ​a platform for the artist in question within this context,” ​a club spokesperson ‌told Reuters on Saturday.

Swiss media reported the concert had ​been due to take place in June.

A Polish stadium said on Friday it would cancel a ​West concert ​days after he ​postponed a show in France.‌

“We would like to ‌inform you that the Ye (Kanye West) concert planned for 19 June 2026 at the … Slaski stadium will not take place due to formal and legal reasons,” stadium director Adam Strzyzewski said in a statement posted on Facebook.

The decision by ‌the Slaski stadium ‌in the ⁠western city of Chorzow, first reported by Wyborcza newspaper ​on its website, comes just over a week after the United Kingdom blocked the 48-year-old from travelling there to headline a festival.

There was no immediate comment from the rapper, now known as Ye, who in January apologised for his behaviour, which he attributed ⁠to untreated bipolar disorder, and ‌renounced ​past expressions of admiration for Adolf Hitler.

Authorities in Poland had already signalled they ​would seek to ban ‌the planned June 19 concert.

“In a country scarred by the history ​of the Holocaust, we cannot pretend that this is just entertainment,” Polish Culture Minister Marta Cienkowska said on Thursday.

More than 1.1 million people, ​most ​of them Jews, were murdered ​at the Auschwitz death camp in Nazi-occupied ‌Poland during World War II.

Nazi Germany killed more than three million of Poland’s 3.2 million Jewish population.

Ye was barred from Australia in 2025 year after releasing a song promoting Nazism and advertising swastika T-shirts on his website.

He has performed ​in the United States and Mexico City this year, with further ​concerts planned in Europe ⁠and Asia.

Ye issued an apology in a full-page letter published in the Wall Street Journal at the start of 2026, where he attributed his “reckless behaviour” and “poor judgment” to a bipolar disorder.

“I am not a Nazi or an anti-Semite. I love Jewish people,” he wrote at the time.
