Ed's performing at a 3 day festival in Jakarta, Indonesia in August.

Headlining bands include The Cranberries, 30 Seconds to Mars and Good Charlotte.

This festival has a history of being supported by a major tobacco company. Somebody on Facebook posted this news report on how the festival actively promotes (girls giving away/sellling cigarettes at the festival) smoking to young people in Indonesia.

Coming soon - "Eddie K's song writer's signature tobacco" Probably with his children's faces on the front to help promote smoking to young people.

Hey, it's all ok, it's one big sell to the highest bidder. Ed's cause for the kids is commendable, but allowing himself to play for a promoter who promotes that..meh. Asia is the biggest smoking market and it's still emerging.

I'd love to see an interviewer ask him about this. Would he say, "now, that's just a mischaracterization"

By the way, I have no idea how to spell that last word lol.gif

It is the same band minus Adam. They just rotate drummers depending on the show.

He's been banned from certain countries due to crimes against drumming/music.

Maybe HE has moral objections to some of these shows and doesn't want to go.
