Dutch event organiser SONA, known for staging the No Art festival, confirmed that co‑founder Omid Kahali has stepped down following accusations of sexual misconduct. The statement indicated that the organisation is commissioning an independent investigation to examine the claims.
The move marks a significant development for the local electronic music scene, as SONA has been a key platform for emerging talent. The investigation’s outcome could impact future programming and partnerships.
The details were first reported by Mixmag, which noted the promoter’s commitment to a transparent review process.
