Overview

• On May 29, Sónar issued its third statement explicitly condemning the genocide of Palestinians under pressure from critics of its indirect ties to KKR.
• The festival insists that not a single euro of attendee revenue will flow to KKR, as all proceeds cover operational costs and are reinvested in future editions.
• Approximately 50 artists and exhibitors have dropped out in protest, prompting organizers to secure replacement acts to maintain the lineup.
• The event will permit attendees to display pro-Palestinian symbols within legal bounds and plans to donate to NGOs aiding people in Gaza.
• Ticket holders who object to the KKR connection can request refunds through a case-by-case review via the festival’s official support channel.
