King Gizzard Cancel Bluesfest Appearance In Protest Against Sticky Fingers Booking

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have canceled their appearance at Bluesfest Byron Bay after the festival announced they had booked the Australian rock group Sticky Fingers in their most recent lineup addition. “As a band and as human beings, we stand against misogyny, racism, transphobia, and violence,” they wrote in a statement. “Surprised and saddened to see Bluesfest commit to presenting content that is in complete opposition to these values.”
