Due to new international travel restrictions implemented by the current administration, these artists cannot secure the necessary access to travel to the United States for their scheduled performances. These cancellations are heartbreaking for our festival community and devastating for the artists who rely on touring as a vital part of their livelihoods.
We believe that the free exchange of culture and ideas across borders strengthens our community. Policies that place an undue burden on artists and limit that exchange risk isolating us and diminishing the shared human connection that live music makes possible. Green River Festival remains committed to presenting a diverse, global lineup and to standing with artists whose ability to share their work is impacted by these restrictions. We hope to welcome these bands in the future and will continue to advocate for policies that support cultural exchange.
