I'd rather Festivals were prepared for Climate Events rather than Terrorism, it's more likely.
Festivals are more likely to be called "Terrorist" than be the victim of one, see all that crap about Kneecap and Bob Vylan last year at Glastonbury.

Los adioses engañan, un adiós se puede alargar casi tanto como una fiesta.
Porque unas conexiones me llevan a otras pero ningún enlace me lo traía, tenía ganas de saber de Paul Hartnoll. Estaba cacharreando, pareciera que esperándome, esperándonos.
El bueno de Paul estaba con el trío Kneecap, pergueñando travesuras de niños buenos. Me remito a las noticias extramusicales de estos meses, teniendo problemas los irlandeses por decir la cosas como son y señalar cómo coño se está aniquilando a una nación sin que los entes internacionales se muevan. Ya el pueblo despertó y la hilera de dominó se cae (bien, españita. ¡Hablad, pueblos, hablad!).
Oficialmente sale en octubre, en físico, pero ya están los dos sencillos estrenados. El mítico de la electrónica, Paul, colabora en Sayonara.
Es esta una canción poderosa y sexy, cuya misma letra apunta al trance pero elevadísimo a los sonidos hardcore (o bakalas de algún modo, sin ser exactamente lo mismo que el hardcore). Cuerpos sudando.
Joder, sí, joder.
El sonido es tan ravero que parece dominado por ráfagas sónicas análogas al láser de las discotecas. Láseres ametrallados de largo alcance. Metraláseres. Chorrazo. Gustico. Hasta ahora no me había dado cuenta de que queremos a Samantha con un tema así en su discografía.
Sayonara es un no parar, en nada apetece despedirse de ella. El stop no existe si suena. Tiene alma rock. Parece el resultado de electrificar el alma de Misirluo de Dick Dale (la de Pulp Fiction). Llena cualquier espacio y lo hace dando la pista a la gente, volviéndola un espacio ACAB seguro para todes, como antaño fue.
Los Keenap admiten a quienes vengan de buen rollo a entregarse a esta comunión atea del dios del megatrón. Sayonara también es hasta luego. Hasta la siguiente fiesta.

Hungary bans the Irish pro-Palestinian band Kneecap.
The Hungarian government has banned the Irish rap group from entering the country, citing “antisemitic hate speech and open praise for Hamas and Hezbollah,” a government spokesperson said Thursday.
The band was set to perform at the major Sziget Festival in Budapest on 11 August.

Massive Attack, Brian Eno, Fontaines DC and Kneecap have announced the formation of a syndicate for artists speaking out about Israel’s military assault on Gaza, who they say have been subjected to “aggressive, vexatious campaigns” by pro-Israel advocates.

Glastonbury 2025 Recap: Politics, Girl Power and Indie Nostalgia Deliver an Action-Packed Fest Before Next Year’s Break

Tuning in to #gbnews to watch coverage of #kneecap #glasto25 set. Treated to a gloriously comic display of wobbly lower lips and snowflakery as guests provide a safe space for each other's delicate and bruised feelings. At the core of their political #grievance appears to be that free speech is good but not when the speech is so naughty and hurty that it makes them want to cry.
