Bands Continue Exiting Radar Festival Following Bob Vylan’s Removal
Hero In Error, The Scratch and ĠENN have pulled out of Manchester’s Radar Festival to protest the removal of Bob Vylan.
ĠENN echoed a similar sentiment, citing concerns about “bullying, censorship, and strong-arming” directed at Bob Vylan and Radar Festival. “As a minority on pretty much every line-up, and with a relatively modest platform, we considered whether we could use our physical presence to speak against the bullying, censorship, and strong-arming demonstrated towards the likes of both Bob Vylan and Radar,” the band said. Radar Festival organiser Catherine Jackson-Smith has been vocal about the pressure placed on the event, saying it was “categorically one of the most horrendous professional discussions I’ve ever had” to remove Bob Vylan.
