Comment on Bands pull out from festival after group 'cut off' over Palestine flag
mannycalavera@feddit.uk 1 day agoThe problem is… and I hate to say this… the vast majority of the European middle classes that pay for and attend these festivals don’t give a shit 😥. They just want to get off their faces and have a rave. If they didn’t, these festivals wouldn’t be so popular and would cease to exist. Yet unfortunately they are as profitable as ever.

It doesn’t matter if enough artists make a stand. It should turn those festivals to beige shit pretty quickly… Even the people you speak of wouldn’t want to attend.
It’s really all down to the artists and whether or not they want to help the genocide supporters profit.

True. But again, the vast majority don’t particularly care. They care in a middle class way of “oh how terrible it all is … but at the end of the day I need to eat my avocados man”.
These festivals don’t have any trouble booking acts. And that’s depressing.
