Yesterday we brought you the news of Paris Hilton playing at Summerfest Festival, which is regarded as the world’s largest music festival. Some fans did not take the news well, enraged with the fact that a festival with the standing of Summerfest should be booking an artist with a much higher reputation than of Paris Hilton.
Thomas Neil, a concerned festival goer decided to create a petition on Change.org to remove Paris Hilton from the lineup of the festival, saying
“This is a middle finger to anyone who paid to go this festival. You claim to be one of the premier festivals in America and then you go ahead and hire someone like Paris Hilton. She is a disgrace to dance music and is a perfect example of what spoiled celebrities do when they’re bored. She has no right to be paid good money to stand up there and clap her hands on a stage. That money could be used to hire credible djs that actually work hard on their craft. If Paris has any respect for dance music she would step down as she’s clearly not worthy. Signing her to Summerfest is supporting a false, non credible, and quite frankly overall terrible “musician”/”DJ”. This diminishes dance music as nothing more than a cheap show and if you have any respect for the integrity of music you will remove Paris Hilton from the lineup. Please sign and share this petition together we can at least show Paris that we won’t stand for this.”
The petition comes after the news of another petition started by Glastonbury goers to remove Kanye West from Glastonbury‘s lineup, with around 130,000 signatures.
