London festival Field Day will be seeing an open letter signed by over fifty artists, including Massive Attack and Brian Eno, asking the event to pull away from investment firm KKR.

“We are a coalition of artists—including many who have been booked to play Field Day in the past and present—who come together to stand against Israel’s genocide in Gaza and to stand for all rights of the Palestinian people under international law,” the letter says.

“KKR invests billions of pounds in companies which, for example, develop Israeli underground data centres, and advertise real estate on illegally occupied land in Israeli settlements in the West Bank… While we understand that this acquisition was not the choice of Field Day, it nonetheless means that the festival is now implicated in the crimes against humanity of apartheid and genocide.”

They say Field Day has “an urgent and profound legal and moral obligation” to “publicly distance itself from KKR to the fullest extent it possibly can, by taking a clear stance against KKR’s complicit investments as well as outlining its position on the genocide of Palestinians, in an official statement.”
