A statement from Roger Waters on the controversy over his Berlin Concert

Share

Frankfurt. “My recent performance in Berlin has attracted bad faith attacks from those who want to smear and silence me because they disagree with my political views and moral principles.

The elements of my performance that have been questioned are quite clearly a statement in opposition to fascism, injustice, and bigotry in all its forms. Attempts to portray those elements as something else are disingenuous and politically motivated.The depiction of an unhinged fascist demagogue has been a feature of my shows since Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” in 1980.

I have spent my entire life speaking out against authoritarianism and oppression wherever I see it. When I was a child after the war, the name of Anne Frank was often spoken in our house, she became a permanent reminder of what happens when fascism is left unchecked. My parents fought the Nazis in World War II, with my father paying the ultimate price.

Regardless of the consequences of the attacks against me, I will continue to condemn injustice and all those who perpetrate it.”

Roger Waters will perform in the Frankfurt Festhalle24.4.2023 15:53:11 EEST | Press release

London. At the request of our client Roger Waters, the Frankfurt Administrative Court today issued an interim injunction against the City of Frankfurt and the State of Hesse. According to this order, they must ensure, by interfering with the Frankfurt Fair, that Waters is granted access to the Frankfurt Festhalle on the evening of 28 May 2023 in order to be able to play a concert there as part of his European tour "This is not a drill". The defendants had made the unfounded accusation that our client was an anti-Semite. They wanted to prevent his concert on this basis. The Frankfurt Administrative Court has now rejected this attempt. Roger Waters is looking forward to his performance in Frankfurt.
