Barclays has pulled out of sponsoring major UK festivals Following protests from fans and artists, the bank Barclays has pulled its sponsorship from festivals including Download, Latitude and the Isle of Wight festival. Barclays’ ties to Israel have led to major boycotting recently as acts have pulled out of festivals because of the bank’s involvement. It has now been announced that following these protests, Barclays will no longer be supporting some of the major UK festivals this summer.
’ A spokesperson for Barclays told The Guardian: ‘Barclays was asked and has agreed to suspend participation in the remaining Live Nation festivals in 2024. ‘Barclays customers who hold tickets to these festivals are not affected and their tickets remain valid. The protesters’ agenda is to have Barclays debank defence companies which is a sector we remain committed to as an essential part of keeping this country and our allies safe.
