Massive Attack to Pull Music From Spotify in All Territories
Massive Attack joins over 400 artists in a global boycott, protesting Spotify CEO's ties to military AI and supporting cultural resistance against Israel's actions in Gaza.
- On September 18, 2025, Massive Attack announced they will remove their music from Spotify globally as part of the No Music For Genocide campaign.
- The campaign and the band's actions are in response to Spotify CEO Daniel Ek’s financial involvement with a firm that develops military drones and AI technologies used in Israeli defense operations.
- No Music For Genocide is a cultural boycott urging artists and labels to geo-block or remove music from platforms in Israel to protest ongoing conflict and alleged genocide.
- The campaign references the successful anti-apartheid cultural boycott of South Africa and includes hundreds of artists globally, with Massive Attack urging others to reclaim their agency through this tangible act.
- Massive Attack’s action adds to a wider movement seeking to isolate Israel culturally and economically, aiming to pressure an end to war crimes and genocide against Palestinians.
