Multiple bands and musicians scheduled to perform at the South by Southwest (SXSW) festival are pulling out because of the U.S. Army’s “super sponsorship” of the event, and America’s ongoing support of Israel’s war on Hamas.

      Who does their distribution? Also, where do they play when they tour? A lot of US cities have no venues now controlled by LiveNation or similar.

        A lot of it is independently produced and distributed. The labels the two bands I mentioned are on are small independent labels as well. Depending on where you live there are a decent amount of venues that aren’t run by a large corporation like live nation.
