Overview
- More than 600 artists signed the letter, with Massive Attack, Brian Eno and Caribou among the prominent names.
- The signatories call on Live Nation Entertainment to discontinue its Live Nation Israel operations and to adopt policies that prevent complicity in oppression.
- The letter accuses Live Nation Israel of glorifying the Israeli military and of facilitating artwashing, citing a death toll of more than 70,000 Palestinians in Gaza.
- The appeal comes from Musicians For Palestine, a network active since 2021, and aligns with PACBI and the broader BDS movement’s strategy of targeted boycotts.
- Many signers have previously worked with Live Nation, and outlets reporting on the letter said the company had been asked for comment but no response was published.
