Music

Over 400 artists and labels have removed their music from streaming platforms in Israel as part of a new cultural boycott, No Music For Genocide.

Launched today, the boycott draws inspiration from activism against South Africa's apartheid regime in the 1980s. It calls on artists and rights-holders to "remove their music from streaming platforms in Israel in response to the genocide in Gaza; ethnic cleansing of the Occupied West Bank; apartheid within Israel; and political repression of pro-Palestine efforts wherever we live." The new boycott is operating with support from BDS/PACBI.

Among the artists supporting the boycott are Arca, Massive Attack, Kneecap, Kelela, Erika de Casier, Nick León, Oklou, Mechatok, Eartheater, Nourished by Time, AceMo, Yaeji, horsegiirL, Oli XL, keiyaA and many more. Labels involved include PAN, Bayonet Records, Escho, Arbutus Records, NTS, Leaving Records and TraTraTrax.
