Ye has been confirmed as the exclusive headliner for all three days of Pepsi MAX presents Wireless Festival 2026, marking his first UK performance in 11 years. The historic event will take place at London’s Finsbury Park from 10-12 July.
The booking promises an unprecedented “three-night journey” through the 48-year-old rapper’s extensive discography, celebrating eras from The College Dropout and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy to his newly released solo album, Bully. This ambitious residency mirrors Drake’s highly successful three-day takeover at the festival in 2025.
Fans looking to secure their place at the Finsbury Park event have multiple avenues to purchase tickets over the coming weeks.
- PayPal Presale: Tuesday 31st March at 12pm BST (available for up to 48 hours for exclusive customers)
- Wireless Presale: Tuesday 7th April at 12pm BST
- General Sale: Wednesday 8th April at 12pm BST via wirelessfestival.co.uk
The announcement serves as a major live comeback for the artist, whose last London headline show was his notorious 2014 Wireless set, where he was famously booed by the crowd following an extended mid-show rant.
Following a turbulent few years marked by erratic behaviour, the loss of major corporate partnerships, and his billionaire status, Ye is seeking a fresh start on the UK stage. In January, he issued a full-page apology in The Wall Street Journal for his past controversies, crediting a recent stint in rehab and the ongoing support of his wife, Bianca Censori, for his recovery.
Organisers promise that Ye’s return will be an “extraordinary chapter” in the festival’s history. Festival Republic is expected to announce the supporting lineup and further festival details in the coming weeks.
