Not surprised. They pulled this exact same shit with Bobby Vylan, he was supposed to be a guest at a 'Grandson' show and they wouldn't have it. Barred him from the venue.

Radar festival in the uk basically had the choice of no festival or no Bon Vylan. Was pressure from local people put on the venue.

Was Grandson a part of that decision?

Doubtful since grandson has been prominently against the MAGA terrorist group.

u/CourtneyLush Sep 14 '26

No. Why would he be. He's collaborated with them. Bobby was guesting because he's on one of grandson's tracks.

I would hope he would stand up against. His music is about standing up to shit like this.
