Gigs include two nights at the GelreDome in Arnhem and one night at the Vélodrome in Marseille in June.
Shadow Home Secretary said: “Kanye West has spouted antisemitic hatred and pro- filth.
“I’m glad the Government followed my suggestion to ban him from the UK.
“But this is not enough, other European countries should follow suit and ensure he cannot set foot on their soil.
“We must have no tolerance of antisemitism and hatred of this kind.”
MP added: “This was no one-off comment.
“Anyone thinking of booking him or letting him perform in Europe this summer should think twice.”
Kanye is also due to play in Spain, Portugal, Italy, Turkey and India.
, which was scheduled for three days in July, was cancelled this week after the British Government blocked Kanye from entering the country.
Yesterday ministers defended the ban and likened Kanye to a cleric spouting hate speech.
Policing Minister Sarah Jones said the public agreed “we don’t want a man like that in this country”.

Prime Minister said the rapper should never have been invited to headline the festival in London’s Finsbury Park.
The artist – now known as Ye – has previously sold swastika T-shirts and been pictured wearing them.
He also has a song called Heil Hitler, released last year, which glorifies the Nazi leader.
Ye apologised to the Jewish community in a full-page advert in The Wall Street Journal earlier this year.
He claimed he loves Jews and blamed his bipolar disorder for his “poor judgment and reckless behaviour”.
