About this Event

To cancel, or not to cancel?
Cancellation of bookings in times of activism and polarisation.

We invite music lovers, artist and professionals in the music industry, to the expert session ‘Cancellation of bookings in voltile times’ during Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE), as part of the ADE Friends X 750 program. A conversation about the considerations and legal framework behind the decisions to cancel bookings (or not) due to unethical involvement, activism and controversy while the world is on fire.

The panel is hosted by A Lab and curated by Plus One Legal.‍

Topics to be discussed:

Which considerations do play a role in the decision of artists to cancel their bookings (or not)?
How to deal with (possible) cancellations of bookings and (possible) backlash of communities as event promotor or venue?
Why independent event promotors need to introduce sustainable business principles to survive?
Which argument scan be used within the legal framework of such (possible) cancellation of bookings?
