Artists including Erica Cody and Frances Black have signed a letter calling on Bambie Thug to boycott this year's Eurovision
Over 400 Irish artists have called on Bambie Thug to boycott the 2024 Eurovision due to Israel’s participation in the annual song contest.
This year’s song contest kicks off on May 7, with Ireland set to take part in the first of the two semi-finals. They said: "I stand with anyone doing the boycott. I think if I wasn't in the competition, I would also be boycotting. There are a lot of moving parts." Within the letter, the artists also highlight the importance that global events like the Eurovision can have to act as a vehicle for "art washing its crimes against the Palestinian people".
