Overview

  • The Murder Capital's shows in Berlin and Cologne were canceled due to their decision to display the Palestinian flag on stage.
  • The band performed impromptu outdoor acoustic sets for fans in both cities after the cancellations, maintaining their commitment to their message.
  • Germany's strict anti-hate-speech and antisemitism laws have previously led to similar cancellations for other artists, including Northern Ireland's Kneecap.
  • Frontman James McGovern described the flag display as a humanitarian statement to highlight the suffering in Gaza, rather than a political act.
  • Proceeds from the band's single 'Love Of Country' are being donated to Medical Aid for Palestine, reinforcing their stance on humanitarian support.
