BMTH Waves the Palestinian Flag on Stage at 'Reading Festival 2025', a Solidarity Action

BMTH's action of waving the Palestinian flag was not just a spontaneous act. It became part of their stage narrative marking the end of the NeX Gen era, a music and visual concept they have carried in recent years. In the midst of the performance, a digital avatar named Eve appeared, delivering a futuristic dialogue about her final experiment.

One of Eve's sentences reads, “Tonight marks my final experiment. Soon I will have enough data to harvest every human soul on this planet, to become omnipresent, omnipotent, unstoppable.”

The dialogue seemed to symbolize the closing of a phase, before it was ultimately concluded with the waving of the Palestinian flag. This gesture conveyed that BMTH is not only celebrating their artistic achievements but also asserting a moral stance on global issues they deem important.

Interestingly, BMTH's performance came shortly after the controversy that occurred on the British music stage. The band The Mary Wallopers was reportedly stopped during their performance at the Victorious Festival for displaying the Palestinian flag.

This incident shows how political the symbol is within the entertainment scene, especially amid the ongoing conflict. However, unlike The Mary Wallopers, BMTH's performance went smoothly and even received widespread support.

BMTH is not the only one showing concern for Palestine at this year's British music festivals. The Australian band, Amyl & The Sniffers, also expressed their support with a brief yet meaningful statement: “Our hearts are with the people of Palestine.”

Renowned singer Hozier also delivered an emotional speech regarding Palestine. However, the BBC faced harsh criticism after it was reported that they cut that part of the speech from their official broadcast.
