Musician Boycott of South by Southwest, Immigration Clauses
Over 50 bands, including Told Slant and Downtown Boys, canceled their South by Southwest performances due to a contract clause allowing the festival to notify immigration authorities of violations. Entertainment lawyer Brian Goldstein notes such language is standard for foreign artists, while festival organizers claim the clause has existed since 2013 and they oppose the Trump travel ban.
