Found this website in the internet, I think someone else might find it interesting.
Very limited in scope, as it doesn’t account for Russia now hosting gigs in the neighboring countries to make up for the sanctions. The earnings then end up supporting Russia’s economy all the same. If you include the Russian Park Live festival alone, the list would also contain the likes of Megadeth, Jack White, Gorillaz, The Offspring, Marilyn Manson, Till Lindemann, Limp Bizkit, Thirty Seconds to Mars, Robbie Williams and so on.
The Offspring
I thought they were smarter than this. Money talks I guess.
I’m actually surprised half of your list didn’t perform in Russia itself, especially Limp Bizkit and Till Lindemann, who are very russophilic.
Scrolled the whole list. Not a single one I listen to. Other than a few washed up rappers, I’ve never even heard of most of these.
Not a single artist I listen to and none I really respect. Bunch of washed up nobodies too
Sabaton? Who was made songs of Finnish Winter War and sharpshooter Simo Häyhä? I wonder what russians like those subjects. Well, I don’t like that band anyway so it doesn’t make my playlist any shorter. I have always thought there’s something wrong with them and now I know what it is.
Every concert helps fund the war. Here are some who chose to go.
How? There’s no info, the press page explains nothing.
I understand that as a Ukrainian, the guy behind the website hates Russia with a passion, but if you’re claiming people are complicit with war and war crimes for playing sometimes one concert, I’d expect an argument that explains how.
Taxes? Do taxes not exist in Russia?
Why the hell is sabaton playing in russia. Most of the songs are about all wars things…so terrible on their part for this
Steven Seagull is a musician?
Artist ≠ Musician
Actors and martial arts instructors are in fact artists.
Sabaton noooooo!
The only listed concert was from 2015, I get that they probably shouldn’t have played in russian occupied territory then either but that’s hardly tied to the most recent war
Edit: See other comments in this thread, inclusion in this list does seem pretty justified despite how long ago it was :(
The annexation of Crimea wasn’t any more justified than the 2022 invasion either.
Yeah after reading more about their comments around it i’m really disappointed
The boycott list just got longer.
It’s almost entirely men.
Oakenfold, Scooter and Roni Size?! It’s like a charitable interpretation of this is that their audience are not going to be pro-war and this is outreach, but a less charitable one is that they like money and thought no-one would notice.
As I Lay Dying doesn’t surprise me, their singer is a psychopath. Attila doesn’t either, they’re terrible people as well.
I thought the singer went to prison. Is he out already or are they just playing with someone else?
Weird number of UK drum n bass artists on that list
