Fontaines D.C. Cancel Istanbul Concert in Solidarity With Palestinian People

Fontaines D.C. canceled its Istanbul concert in solidarity with Palestinian people, calling on Zorlu Holdings to divest from Israel.

Amid the ongoing war in Gaza and mounting calls for a ceasefire, Fontaines D.C. have canceled their upcoming concert at Zorlu PSM in Istanbul in a show of support for the Palestinian people. “We were really looking forward to visiting and playing Istanbul, however in this instance, we must be clear in our convictions and put solidarity with the people of Palestine first,” the message continues, with the band pledging full refunds to ticket-holders. According to a post on the BDS committee’s official Instagram — which Fontaines also reshared on Stories — Zorlu owns part of Dorad, a large power plant located in Israel.
