Media not welcome at Lenny Kuhr concert after disruption of pro-Palestinian activists | Music

Klaas Sloots, the mayor of Stadskanaal, says that he wants to maintain the “intimate character” of the concert. According to him, the media attention has created “a different atmosphere” around the performance. “This means that there is no longer a good overview of who is coming in and who is not. I want people to be able to enjoy culture, song and music here undisturbed.”

Earlier, Theater Geert Teis in Stadskanaal stopped ticket sales for Tuesday’s concert, which started at 2 p.m. This was done on behalf of the municipality, police and Public Prosecution Service. Kuhr was not in favor of this measure.

People who had already purchased a ticket can attend the concert. There is extra security in the theater. At the entrance, a security guard keeps the media at a distance.
