ANNOUNCEMENT
For reasons of principal, I will no longer be playing at Monegros festival this year.
Being involved in an event that is even unwittingly raising money that will go towards war and weapons is completely against everything I stand for and every reason I became involved in this scene in the beginning.
Unfortunately the commercial festival scene is getting transformed into an investment opportunity for the opposite of everything that we believe in, so for me personally it’s time to take a step back and ensure that I am supporting the independent and underground events that I love.
I understand that some artists will use this as an opportunity to bring awareness to the problem and others are contractually obligated and I’m sad that so many festivals have found themselves in this unhappy position but personally I don’t want to be be a part of it.
