Jonny Greenwood and Israeli musician Dudu Tassa condemn ‘silencing’ after UK concerts pulled

6 mai 2025 à 11:59

After two performances were cancelled over threats linked to protests against Israel, the duo said the actions were ‘self-evidently a method of censorship’

After the cancellation of two UK performances with the Israeli musician Dudu Tassa, Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood has said that they “dread the weaponisation of this cancellation by reactionary figures as much as we lament its celebration by some progressives”.

In a statement, Greenwood and Tassa said that venues in London and Bristol as well as “their blameless staff” had received enough credible threats to conclude that it was not safe to proceed with the gigs.

The freshly hatched Gelli Haha is an old-school pop world-builder. The aesthetic world of her few singles so far recalls a kids’ soft-play centre, all bright primary colours and bouncy surfaces. Live, she fires bubble guns into the air, surrounded by caged inflatable sea creatures and red-clad backing dancers dressed as boxers. Her delightfully weird dance-pop draws from a toybox of vintage synths, and sounds as if it could be some rediscovered lost Euro new-wave pop curio, dabbling in Italo, sleazy chug and early electro.
