After the criticism Luleå municipality about the controversial festival booking

Luleå municipality has faced criticism over its support for the partially publicly funded music festival Splash, which includes the hip-hop group Roc boyz. The group was reported to have shown an animated film depicting violence against Sámi people during a performance in Umeå. Evelina Rydeker, chair of Luleå's culture and leisure committee, acknowledges being personally affected by the incident but emphasizes her role in maintaining distance from the content while ensuring dialogue between the organizers and the Luleå-Boden Sámi community.
