Calvin Harris has been urged to pull out of playing a lucrative DJ set in Qatar during the World Cup by gay rights campaigners.
The Scots DJ, whose first chart hit in 2007 was Acceptable in the 80s, is the headline act at a Fifa Fan Festival on December 10 at Al Bidda Park in Doha. But he has come under pressure from LGBT groups who say he is putting cash before principles by performing in the Gulf state which has an abysmal human rights record and where same-sex relationships are banned.
Among those calling for him to back out is veteran gay rights campaigner Peter Tatchell.
