More evidence that the academic and cultural boycott of Israel and BDS in general is taking off!
From the Jerusalem Post:
UK-based indie rock band Klaxons and popular audio-visual innovators Gorillaz Sound System have canceled their performance at the PicNic festival in Tel Aviv on Saturday, possibly in reaction to Monday’s flotilla fiasco, it was announced Friday.Both bands were scheduled to perform alongside pop-rock megastars Placebo and up-’n-coming New Yorkers Hank ‘n Cupcakes.While Placebo have already landed in Israel and are scheduled to perform as planned, the cancellation will do doubt come as a hard blow to concertgoers who paid a high price for an evening of performances by international acts who will headline Europe’s top festivals this summer.
