It's brilliant to see an artist use their platform and touring power to take a stand on something they clearly believe in, and the fact that audiences are turning up in such numbers suggests there's real appetite for music that comes with a message.

For Cledvibes Radio listeners who care about both great music and what artists stand for, this kind of touring is worth paying attention to.
