The office group won't play at the Sonorica festival
The office group has decided not to play at the Sonorica Castro Urdiales festival and has announced this in a social media release. The Azkoitiarra group was announced to play on July 18. But it has decided to step back and not stand on stage in the belief that they must be "honest with the values of freedom that the office wants to convey." "What is happening in Palestine is unacceptable and although we are still in a world full of contradictions, we have felt that our position in this case was essential."
The Sonorica Festival, like Viña Rock, Sonar, Resurrection Fest, the Tsunami Xixon Festival and other national and global festivals (80 in total), belongs to the Superstruct Entertainment group. Last year, the KKR investment fund and other buyers bought this festival group, so this company interested in Israel's settlements in Palestine built links with these music festivals.
Uncomfortable with this, several groups have declared in recent weeks that they will not return to these festivals or play even if announced, after the digital media El Salto reported on the links between the festivals and the investment fund.
Superstructure has issued a note , in response to this information: "All revenue and profits from events and festivals remain intact within our business and are used for the development and organization of our festivals around the world," says the letter. Another thing, of course, is that the viability of festivals is essential for the investment fund to make a profit, such as if KKR decided to sell its share in Superstructure.
