Radiohead at Glastonbury 2017

Boycott Radiohead concerts

Palestinians reiterate our call for the boycott of future Radiohead concerts, including its rumoured tour, until the group convincingly distances itself, at a minimum, from Jonny Greenwood’s crossing of our peaceful picket line during Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. 

Radiohead has also crossed our nonviolent picket line, performing in Tel Aviv in 2017 and artwashing Israel’s regime of apartheid and military occupation. It has yet to apologise for doing so.

Jonny Greenwood performed in apartheid Tel Aviv along with Dudu Tassa in May 2024, on a night that genocidal Israeli forces massacred displaced Palestinians in their tents in Rafah, burning them alive, just a short drive away. 

The pair repeated their performance there again in March 2025. Dudu Tassa has repeatedly entertained genocidal Israeli forces in between these massacres of Palestinians in Gaza, willingly acting as a cultural ambassador for apartheid Israel.

Both of Jonny Greenwood and Dudu Tassa’s UK concerts, scheduled for later this month, were cancelled following peaceful BDS pressure, given the artists’ clear and irrefutable links to whitewashing Israel’s genocide in Gaza that has killed at least 62,000 Palestinians. 

Singer Thom Yorke recently attempted damage control against the growing rejection among Radiohead fans of Jonny Greenwood’s shameful artwashing of genocide, and Thom Yorke’s accompanying silence. His statement was widely criticised by fans for itself whitewashing genocide. 

Boycott Radiohead’s tours! Complicity must have consequences.
