Yes! This show will be incredible, but getting a spot there will be nearly impossible. Anyway, I am travelling that day so I will miss it, hope others in the forum are lucky enough to get a ticket

On a recent interview with the Sunday Times, he said:

QuoteWe didn't allow dynamic pricing because it's a scam that would disappear if every artist said, 'I don't want that!' But most artists hide behind management. 'Oh, we didn't know,' they say. They all know. If they say they do not, they're either f***ing stupid or lying. It's just driven by greed.

Love Robert's stance against corporate greed!

Every four days an Indigenous Earth defender is killed for protecting their land!  :-(

QuoteEarth's guardians are being murdered for keeping our forests alive.

More than 2,000 have been killed in recent years for standing up to ranchers, loggers and miners invading their land for profit.

This is a tragedy for all of us. Indigenous Peoples guard our forests - but they can't keep doing it if their lives and lands are under attack. Many of them don't even legally own the lands that they have died for!

World leaders can help stop these senseless attacks by ensuring Indigenous Peoples have legal title to their lands so they can protect our planet's vital ecosystems without being murdered.
