Sandbox Festival Dropped A Pro-Israeli DJ Amid Online Backlash!
In a move that has sparked significant controversy, German DJ Marie Montexier will no longer perform on Sandbox Festival’s main stage this upcoming weekend. The decision follows a wave of intense online backlash after the DJ publicly expressed her support for Israel on her social media platforms.
The growing outrage across the internet has led the festival organizers to reassess their lineup, ultimately removing her from the event scheduled to take place over three days.
The Controversy That Sparked the Backlash
The issue first arose when Montexier made her views on Israel known to her followers on social media. Her public statement supporting Israel quickly ignited a heated debate, with many expressing their disagreement and disappointment.
The comments section of her posts filled with critical responses, and the conversation soon moved to other online spaces, escalating the controversy even further.
As tensions mounted, calls for a boycott of Sandbox Festival began to surface. Social media users voiced their concerns about Montexier’s views and how they felt the festival should take a stand against her presence.
The backlash was swift and powerful, as more and more people shared their discontent.
Sandbox Festival Takes Action…
Amid the growing pressure, Sandbox Festival did not remain silent. In a Instagram story, the festival organizers made it clear that they were taking the concerns seriously.
They announced the decision to remove Montexier from their main stage lineup for the upcoming weekend event.
The Internet Explodes with Fury
The decision to drop Montexier has done little to quell the ongoing fury online. While some supported the festival’s move, others criticized it for what they saw as a submission to online outrage.
The internet remains a battleground, with some expressing disappointment of including her in the first place, while others continue to call for broader action against any perceived support for controversial political views.
