Musicians booked to appear at the UK's first ever anti-European Union music festival have told BuzzFeed News they are personally in favour of British membership of the EU.



Bpoplive, which is due to take place on 8 May at the 15,000-capacity Genting Arena in Birmingham, is funded and organised by Leave.EU, a pro-Brexit campaign group founded by Arron Banks, UKIP's biggest donor.

According to a press release announcing the event, Bpoplive will feature "some of Britain's hottest artists as well as speeches from leading personalities and politicians who support leaving the EU", and the event "will be the first of its kind in the UK".
