    Artists with principles... Refreshing in the age where selling is the MO

      Yup. I feel they wouldn’t have done anything (the organisers that is) until The Last Dinner Party stood up. Good to see the larger acts take a stand. A lot of the “legacy” acts from the 2000s and before doing the rounds just want their performance fee.

        Art was about counter cutlure and fighting the man... Sometime in 1980s but deff after Kurt Cobain died, selling became the MO.

        And that's why I call them regime whores. These are not people are they are NPCs doing tricks for money. They don't serve their fandoms

    Soon, Irish artists will have to put up a £1M bond which they forfeit if they mention Palestine.
