"Lorde is among the latest wave of artists joining the No Music for Genocide campaign, which urges musicians to geo-block their music in Israel in solidarity with the Palestinian people. Caribou, Hayley Williams, Dry Cleaning, Marina, Caroline, Diiv, Duval Timothy, Idles, Muna, Paloma Faith, Obongjayar, Marc Rebillet, Tokimonsta, 454, Pinegrove, and Skee Mask have also removed or pledged to remove their music from streaming services in the country."
"Hyperdub is the latest label to pull its catalog, joining Bayonet, 10k, Pan, and more. The new additions join the likes of Massive Attack, Björk, MJ Lenderman, and dozens more who have backed the organizers' stated protest against "Israel's genocide in Gaza; ethnic cleansing of the Occupied West Bank; apartheid within Israel," and the suppression of pro-Palestine activism. Massive Attack have also joined a separate but parallel drive to pull music from Spotify altogether;"
Numerous artists and labels are removing or pledging to remove their music from streaming services in Israel and geo-blocking access in solidarity with Palestinians. Labels including Hyperdub and others have pulled catalogs, joining a broader campaign that frames Israeli actions as "Israel's genocide in Gaza; ethnic cleansing of the Occupied West Bank; apartheid within Israel," and objects to suppression of pro-Palestine activism. Massive Attack and others are also pursuing a parallel effort to withdraw music from Spotify, partly to protest founder Daniel Ek's investment in weapons contractor Helsing. The campaign targets music-business links to the military-industrial complex and counts over 1,000 signatories.
