Roger Waters, the former Pink Floyd musician who has long been accused of being antisemitic, is slated to perform on Oct. 8 and Oct. 9 at the London Palladium, owned by Andrew Lloyd Webber.
More than 4,750 people signed a petition, which notes that Waters “has a long history of baiting Jews.” The petition called on the English composer and musical theater producer who owns the venue and the organizer, Live Nation, to cancel the concerts, in which Waters is scheduled to perform his new version of “The Dark Side of the Moon.”
Both concerts—the first of which is scheduled for the holiday of Simchat Torah—remain advertised on the venue’s website.
The Campaign Against Antisemitism, which released a 37-minute documentary about Waters, is organizing an Oct. 9 protest outside the Palladium.
The musician “has repeatedly used his enormous platform to bait Jews, but he always claims that he is not antisemitic,” stated Gideon Falter, CEO of the Campaign Against Antisemitism.
