Court Rules Roger Waters Can Perform In Frankfurt

A German Court has found that Roger Waters’ concert in Frankfurt on May 28 can go ahead.

The City of Frankfurt tried to have the show cancelled because of what they called “persistent anti-Israel behaviour”. Waters other German concerts in Hamburg, Cologne, Berlin and Munich were unaffected by the Frankfurt decision.

The Frankfurt concert venue is another problem. Festhalle is where thousands of Jewish people were taken to in 1938 before being shipped off to concentration camps.

The court ruled in favour of Waters because his concerts are “a work of art”.
