Barcelona’s Sónar Festival, a major music and technology event, is seeing artist withdrawals after revelations about its parent company, Superstruct. The live events giant is backed by the hedge fund KKR, which is linked to Israeli weapons makers and illegal West Bank settlements, prompting a growing boycott.
