On August 26, Easy Busy Fest was supposed to take place in Warsaw. Okean Elzy, The Hardkiss, Kola, Dantes, Lyapis Trubetskoy, Alyona Alyona and others should perform there.
On the eve of the event, the artists publicly refused to perform, and the organizers announced its cancellation, writes Lirum.
Reason: Natalya Panchenko, founder of the Stand with Ukraine Foundation, said that she found Monolith and MixMarkt, which are of Russian origin, among the sponsors of the festival. The brands are owned by people from Russia and Kazakhstan and are known for their “russian shops” in Europe, where they sell Russian goods, calling them “Eastern European”.
After the publication of the message, Ukrainian artists began to refuse to perform and stressed that they would not participate in events organized by the Russians.
Organizers, company vpiska. pl, tried to save the festival. They explained that these companies paid for advertising in Warsaw and had nothing to do with the event. But, finally, the event was cancelled.
vpiska company. pl has organized many charity concerts of Ukrainian artists in Europe. However, he also collaborates with Russians, in particular, the rapper Face, stand-up comedians Slava Komissarenko and Danil Poperechny, the punk band Pornofilmy, Monetka and Noise TS.
