Wireless Festival bans clothes ‘promoting cultural appropriation’

Clothing that promotes “cultural appropriation” has been banned by a leading music festival.

Wireless Festival organisers have banned dozens of items from this year’s three-day event in Finsbury Park, London, which begins on Friday. They include “clothing/garments/items which promote cultural appropriation”.

The information on Wireless’s website does not specify which items of clothing fall under the ban – raising questions over whether the prohibition extends to sombreros or keffiyeh scarves, a symbol of the Palestinian cause.

Some folks are going to be without pants.
