British trip-hop band Massive Attack has been barred from performing in Singapore after an investigation found two members unfurled a Palestinian flag during a concert, police said. Singapore, known for its tough laws on public speech and assembly, bans the open display of all foreign flags, national emblems or banners without a permit. Two band members who held the flag on stage during a concert on Wednesday were also banned from re-entering Singapore and issued with warnings, police said in a statement late on Friday, without naming the pair. The concert promoter had not responded to an AFP request for comment at time of publication. The band had not issued a public comment. A video circulating online showed two Massive Attack members on stage unfurling a Palestinian flag to loud, prolonged cheers from the audience. After concluding their investigation and in consultation with state prosecutors, police said they “administered stern warnings to both men” and barred them from coming back to the city-state. ]]> Mon 03 Aug 2026 14:38:03 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1618247/singapore-bans-band-massive-attack-for-displaying-palestinian-flag/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1611374/watch-the-girl-in-the-striped-dress-2-angles/
