Kosheen Apologise For Booking Gig At Ex-Nazi Death Camp

Kosheen have apologised after they were booked to play at a former concentration camp in Belgrade.

The band were due to play at Staro Sajmiste in central Belgrade on Saturday (November 3rd) but cancelled the gig at the last minute following complaints from local authorities.

A statement on the band’s website said: "If Kosheen had known its true history, they would never have agreed to play the venue, and as such Kosheen have cancelled their show there."

Efraim Zuroff, director of the Simon Wiesenthal Centre, said that the concert would have been "a heartless insult to the memory of the victims of the Nazis."

Nearly all of Belgrade's 8,000 Jews were killed at Sajmiste when it was set up in 1941 during World War II, reports AP.
