Eurovision winners Kalush Orchestra were among the Ukrainian bands who played the festival
"For soldiers, for people in Ukraine and around the world, when your big stars support you and understand you, it shows you have truth on your side," says Marko Galanevych of the folk quartet DhakaBrakha.Ukrainian Eurovision winners, Kalush Orchestra, also praised the star for his support. Kalush Orchestra were up first, playing an early-morning set on Shangri-La's Truth Stage on Friday, attracting an audience of about 3,000 people with their intoxicating mix of Ukrainian folk and hip-hop.
"We got about $900,000 for it," Psiuk tells the BBC, "and all of this goes to support Ukrainian soldiers and the people who have been displaced inside Ukraine."Over at the John Peel stage, electro-folk band Go_A also helped inform fans of the threat posed by the Russian invasion, by leading them in a traditional religious ritual called a Horovod, where the faithful join hands and dance around a fire in a circle.
"The more people join us in defending freedom and truth, the sooner Russia's war against Ukraine will end," he added. "Prove that freedom always wins."That message was ringing in Galanevych's ears when DhakaBrakha brought their blend of traditional Ukrainian melodies and African rhythms to the Pyramid Stage on Sunday.
Truly tragic virtue signalling! This ‘festival’ was doomed from the moment the bbc got its fingers into it. Gets worse year on year
Music is love and peace across the world.
Hahahaha !
The UK in 2004 allowed residents of Northern Ireland CHOOSE Irish of British citizenship. Why wouldn’t the UK push Ukraine to do the same? And the dumbed down British people don’t even realize this hypocrisy.
By shelling people? Or asking for money?
PR STUNTS!
They should let the fabulous Ukraine Bootleg Beatles close with Paul McCartney. 'Back in the Ukraine' would have cheered the audience. 'Roll over Putin', 'With Boris on our side', 'Baby you can drive my tank', and many others.
