It comes after rock legend Sir Rod Stewart revealed how he turned down one of the biggest pay cheques of his career by refusing to perform in Saudi Arabia.
Scots DJ Calvin Harris has been slammed by human rights groups for agreeing to perform at a music festival in Saudi Arabia.
The festival’s website also lists Pharrell Williams and David Guetta among the acts in this year’s line up. More than 600,000 fans reportedly attended the 2022 event. “The people Calvin Harris will perform for in Saudi Arabia can’t freely speak out about the human rights situation, and we’d urge Harris to use his public platform to do exactly this.”There have been “consistent reports of discrimination and violence” against LGBTQ+ people in the country, according to Human Rights Watch.
