The m4music festival clarified today what exactly happened regarding the booking and cancellation of Bernarda. There was no way out unscathed.
„Based on m4music’s values, we immediately recognised that this commitment harboured potential for conflict,“ m4music festival admits today on Negative White.
The festival management suggested booking Swiss-Croatian artist Bernarda, not knowing her proximity to an anti-abortion movement. I can only imagine the heat of embarrassment pulsating through the bodies when they learned about it. We all know this moment when you think: „Ooooh fuck…“
As live music clubs are struggling, two avid concert visitors are developing a new experience to discover the next gig.
Negative White could speak to Philipp Schnyder, head of the m4music festival, to clarify why they booked Bernarda and ultimately called off her show after awareness of connections to an anti-abortion movement was raised.
The m4music festival cancelled the show of an artist with ties to an anti-abortion movement. While there are still many open questions, the cancellation has already been politicised.
