Lollapalooza founder Perry Farrell’s band Jane’s Addiction played in Israel in 2011. His band was heavily criticized by pro-Arab activists, and Farrell himself was lambasted for organizing Lollapalooza in Israel.

Elvis Costello, the Klaxons and the Pixies have cancelled shows in Israel due to pressure by anti-Israel organizations.
