Jane Remover says it will not play M3F Fest after issuing an ultimatum to organizers to remove Israeli alt-rock trio Temper City from the lineup, citing the band as an “IDF band.” The festival later releases an updated lineup in which Jane Remover is no longer listed.
According to reports, Jane Remover’s message is delivered via Instagram Stories on Aug. 5, and the artist frames the decision as conditional on whether Temper City remains. NME and Stereogum both describe the core sequence: Jane Remover publicly demands changes to the bill, M3F Fest updates its lineup afterward, and Jane Remover is removed.
Both outlets also note that the festival’s changes include adjustments to the artist roster, with Jane Remover seemingly replaced by another act—reported as Flying Lotus—though details of broader lineup shifts are not consistent across the two sources. The outlets differ mainly in emphasis, with Stereogum providing more of the timeline around the ultimatum and the subsequent official lineup update, while NME focuses on the refusal to play and the replacement on the bill.
