Ten Irish Bands Pull Out Of SXSW In Protest
The scandal has rocked this year’s SXSW showcase. Ten Irish bands have withdrawn from the festival in solidarity with Palestine after discovering the US Army and defense contractor RTX Corporation are “super sponsors” of the event. RTX is said to have supplied weapons to Israel during their conflict in Gaza, and this is cited as the reason for the mass exit. Enola Gay, Conchur, Kneecap, Sprints, Soda Blonde, Gavin James, Robert Grace, Mick Flannery, Chalk, Gurriers, Cardinal, and New Dad have all confirmed their withdrawal, and because of this, the event’s “Music From Ireland” showcase will not go on this year.

The audience BOOED, but Jason ran off to take care of business anyway.
But if there's one thing we know about Jason Derulo, it's that he's kind of a social media MASTER. And he later turned the whole thing into a funny bit where he runs backstage and pees into a bottle . . . and one of his crew almost drinks it.
