Nina Kraviz will no longer be performing at their events this summer.Dortmund’s PollerWiesen, The Crave in The Hague, and Movement Detroit have all posted statements on social media confirming that the Russian DJ has been taken off the billing.The decisions arrive a day after Kraviz published a statement online explaining her social media silence regarding Russia’s military action in Ukraine after she was criticised for not speaking up on the issue.“I am a musician and was never involved in supporting the politicians or political parties, I am not planning to do it in the future,” Kraviz said in part of the statement. “I don’t understand politics or the social processes it creates.

So I don’t think it is right to talk about it on social media.”PollerWiesen posted on Instagram that “this decision was made by us following a process of open dialogue with all parties involved.”The Crave wrote: “After long and intensive discussions both internally and externally we have decided that Nina Kraviz will not play The Crave Festival 2022.”Movement Detroit, meanwhile, simply tweeted: “Nina Kraviz is unable to play Movement this year.”A post shared by PollerWiesen (@pollerwiesen)A post shared by The Crave Festival (@thecravefestival)Nina Kraviz is unable to play Movement this year.
