Sigur Rós joins “No Music for Genocide” boycott in solidarity with Palestine

• The Icelandic post-rock band Sigur Rós joined the "No Music for Genocide" cultural boycott targeting ‘Israel's’ assault on Gaza.
• The band's action involves geo-blocking their music catalog from streaming platforms within ‘Israel’, joining a campaign that now includes over 1,000 artists and labels.

Icelandic post-rock band Sigur Rós has joined the "No Music for Genocide" campaign, a growing international boycott targeting ‘Israel's’ assault on Gaza.

The group, known for ethereal soundscapes in albums like Ágætis byrjun, added their name to the initiative's roster in late November 2025, according to the campaign's official website.

This move aligns with the band's history of advocating for humanitarian causes, including environmentalism and anti-war efforts.

The "No Music for Genocide" campaign launched in September 2025, urging artists and labels to geo-block their music from streaming platforms in ‘Israel’ as a protest against what participants describe as ongoing genocide and apartheid in Palestine.

Organized by a collective of musicians, it has rapidly expanded, with over 1,000 signatories committing to withhold their catalogs until demands for Palestinian rights are met.

The campaign has attracted high-profile artists, including Björk (also Icelandic), Lorde, Hayley Williams of Paramore, Clairo, and Denzel Curry, with recent additions like My Bloody Valentine and Shygirl announced in November 2025.

Earlier waves included Lucy Dacus and Nao in October.
