After canceled gigs in the U.K., France, Switzerland and Poland, Kanye West‘s upcoming concert in Italy is sparking an uproar due to the rapper’s antisemitic remarks.

West, now known as Ye, is scheduled to headline the Hellwat Festival on July 18 at the RCF Arena in the Northern Italian city of Reggio Emilia. The venue has a capacity of 103,000 spectators, making it one of West’s biggest arena appearances ever, according to organizers.
