It's not just the Kiliani folk festival in Würzburg that bans the controversial Ballermann song "Layla" - the chart hit shouldn't be played at the Düsseldorf fair either. The reason for this is the sexist text. The song belongs everywhere, "just not on our fairground," the organizers explain.
The controversial party song "Layla" should not be played at the upcoming Düsseldorf fair with up to four million visitors. The organizers of the St. Sebastianus shooting club made a corresponding decision. "I think this song belongs everywhere - just not on our fairground," said Schützen boss Lothar Inden. The city of Düsseldorf had previously spoken to the organizers about "Layla".
After the shooters had promised that the song should be banned in marquees and rides, the city saw no reason for a ban, according to a spokeswoman. However, the administration saw “no legal basis for this either”. Schützen boss Inden said he had not known the song before and then dealt with the content. The text in no way corresponds to the customs of his traditional club
In the Ballermann hit by DJ Robin
At the beginning of the week it became known that "Layla" could not be played at the Würzburg Kiliani folk festival at the urging of the city. At the much larger Düsseldorf fair, there are numerous rides and several marquees where bands and DJs play every evening. A Mallorca party is also planned. The fair starts on July 15th and runs until July 24th.
