  • Summary

  • Welcome back! Whilst we pride ourselves on being candid, this episode we get a little more serious as we are discussing boycotts and art washing. We’re going to focus on the boycott of SXSW (sponsored by the US Army) and Barclaycard sponsored events such as The Great Escape, Latitude and other Live Nation/Festival Republic festivals.

    Many artists scheduled to play The Great Escape boycotted the festival in solidarity with Palestine, however Irish trio Kneecap didn’t. Alfie and Fionnán discuss Kneecap’s reasons to not boycott the festival and why they instead pointed the finger at the company behind the sponsorship, Live Nation.


    Whilst on the subject of Live Nation, CMAT was among artists and performers who publicly announced that they won’t be playing their planned sets at Latitude because of their sponsor, Barclaycard.

    This episode the lads try to answer the question, do boycotts work? It’s good news as this year artists have proven that they have power to make positive change. But does it come at a cost?
