‘NO MUSIC FOR GENOCIDE’ Call For EUROVISION 2026 Boycott

Posted on by JL

Last December, members of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU)
decided that Israel would be allowed to participate in the annual singing
contest despite the ongoing conflict in Gaza (and now in Lebanon/Iran too).

EUROVISION will be organsized in Vienna on May 16.

Now, the No Music For Genocide organisiation, which encourages artists
and rights-holders to pull their music from streaming platforms in Israel, is
calling for artists, broadcasters and fans to boycott the competition.

An open letter shared today has been signed by artists including Brian Eno, Kneecap,
Massive Attack, Paloma Faith, Paul Weller, Kneecap, Hot Chip, Of Monsters and Men, IDLES, Primal Scream, Sigur Rós, Young Fathers, Mogwai, Black Country New Road, Erika de Casier, Nadine Shah, Dry Cleaning, Ólafur Arnalds, David Holmes, Nemahsis, Macklemore, Roger Waters, Peter Gabriel, Vacations, Smerz, a number of former Eurovision finalists and
more.

The Icelandic stard is among the over 400 artists
and labels backing the NO MUSIC FOR GENOCIDE campaign

Pitchfork: “Earlier this month, over 400 musicians—including MJ Lenderman, Massive Attack, and Yaeji—and labels, among them Bayonet, 10k, and Pan, signed up for a campaign asking distributors to block their music from streaming in Israel. Now, Björk has joined their ranks. The Icelandic legend has not issued a statement on her participation in the embargo, but her name is now listed among the artists on the No Music for Genocide website.”
