Palestinian flag displayed on stage as audience chanted 'Free Palestine'
Irish post-punk band Fontaines D.C. showed solidarity with Palestine at its concert in Istanbul on Sunday, as a Palestinian flag was displayed on stage throughout the performance.
Audience members also chanted slogans such as "Free Palestine," reinforcing the band's message.
The concert took place at the KucukCiftlik Park and marked the band's first performance in Türkiye, according to event organizer Epifoni and URU.
Opening with their song Here's the Thing, the group performed several of their well-known tracks, including Boys in the Better Land, It's Amazing to Be Young, In the Modern World, and Starburster.
The band expressed gratitude to fans and shared excitement about performing in Istanbul for the first time.
Ireland is considered one of the most pro-Palestine countries in Europe. Last May, it joined Spain and Norway to recognize Palestinian statehood and has criticized Israel for its war on Gaza.
