MMF & FAC Statement on Brunei Situation

09 April 2019

‘The situation faced by LGBT people in Brunei is abhorrent. The Featured Artists Coalition and Music Managers Forum support the position of Pride in Music, that the wider music community should reconsider their events planning and travel arrangements to avoid those hotels owned by the Sultan.’

List of Hotels:

Hotel Bel-Air (Los Angeles, USA)
The Beverley Hills Hotel (Beverley Hills, USA)
The Dorchester (London)
45 Park Lane (London)
Coworth Park (Ascot, UK)
Le Meurice (Paris, France)
Hôtel Plaza Athénée (Paris, France)
Hotel Eden (Rome, Italy)
Hotel Principe di Savoia (Milan, Italy)
