Spotify is withdrawing its support from music festivals in France in protest of a new tax introduced by the country. The tax, aimed at supporting the French music sector, will impose a levy of between 1.5% and 1.75% on all music-streaming services. Spotify plans to reallocate resources to other markets due to concerns about innovation and investment in France.
