Boycott Israel's "Oud Festival" in occupied Jerusalem
The Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) reiterates its longstanding call for the boycott of the Jerusalem International Oud Festival, to be held from 5-12th November 2026 in occupied Jerusalem. We also renew our common-sense 2024 and 2025 calls to boycott all live performances and commercial interests of festival participant Jonny Greenwood, including Radiohead concerts, due to his egregious individual complicity in artwashing Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza.
