Henk Willem Smits and Salsabil Fayed, both investigative journalists at Follow the Money, delve into the hidden takeover of major European music festivals by KKR, a U.S. investment firm. They discuss the ethical concerns of corporate ownership over cultural events and the backlash from artists and festival-goers who feel their community spirit is threatened. The podcast also explores KKR's controversial connections to military tech and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, raising important questions about accountability and transparency in private equity.
