Osheaga says the fashion choice by Slowthai ‘caused confusion’ with some who might’ve not understood it ‘denounces the (nazi) regime’

Organizers at Montreal’s Osheaga music festival are apologizing after a British rapper performed while dressed in a T-shirt emblazoned with a swastika.

A number of Jewish groups responded to the circulating images, including U.S.-based Stop Antisemitism which labelled it “atrocious” and asked why Osheaga staff didn’t ensure Frampton was “immediately yanked offstage.” A statement released by Frampton apologized to “anyone who is offended by me wearing an anti-racist/anti-regime T-shirt and the use of the symbol it represents.”

Why music, especially old music, can tap into our deepest, most meaningful life memories | CBC RadioCBC's Elizabeth Withey explores music’s superpower as a time machine, its ability to tap us into the past, connect us with the ones we love, and even bring us comfort and human connection during times of isolation and loneliness — especially during a global pandemic.
