Easy Life Announces Final Shows Amid Legal Dispute with Easy Jet – Details Here
Easy Life Forced to Change Name Amid Legal Dispute with Easy Jet
Leicestershire indie group Easy Life has announced their final two shows as they face a legal battle with airline Easy Jet over their band name. Last week, the band revealed that they were being forced to change their name due to a lawsuit from the airline.
In a statement, Easy Life explained that they are not in a financial position to fight the case and have decided to back down. Before retiring their current moniker, the band will play two final shows at Leicester’s O2 Academy on October 12th and London’s KOKO on October 13th.
The band expressed their disappointment in the situation, stating that they have explored every possible avenue but have realized that they have no good options available to them. They highlighted the financial burden of a legal trial and the impact it would have on their careers and lives.
Despite the setback, Easy Life thanked their fans for their support and announced that they will enter into legal mediation with Easy Group, the parent company of Easy Jet, to determine their next steps. The band hopes for a resolution that will allow them to release new music in the future.
The legal dispute stems from Easy Group’s claim that Easy Life has used their brand name without permission. The claim, filed with the courts, asserts that Easy Group owns the rights to the “Easy Family” of marks and has a reputation to protect.
As Easy Life prepares for their final shows under their current name, they hope that their case will spark a dialogue around legal reform and access to justice for all. Despite the challenges they face, the band remains hopeful for the future and the opportunity to continue making music for their fans.
