The Last Dinner Party have pulled out of their set at Victorious Festival in Portsmouth, England today (Aug. 23), in solidarity with the Mary Wallopers, whose set was cut short on Friday after the Irish band showed their support for Palestine.
“We are outraged by the decision made to silence the Mary Wallopers yesterday at Victorious,” The Last Dinner Party posted in a statement on Instagram.
“Free, free Palestine,” the band said from the stage, many in the audience could be heard joining in per the video.
The band then brought the flag back out which elicited cheers, and more chants from the audience and band to “free Palestine.”A rep for Victorious Festival did not immediately return Rolling Stone’s request for comment.
Mo Chara and the band have repeatedly denied the allegations, stating previously that they “do not, and have never, supported Hamas or Hezbollah.”
