Bad idea. Musicians are not our enemy.

It is already a common argument against the pirate movement to suggest  
that the pirates stand in opposition to the artists. Pirates  
protesting against artists directly would just reinforce that  
misconception.

You also have to consider your audience. You're not likely to convince  
the artist to change his views by disrupting an evening of  
entertainment. Nor will the people attending the concert appreciate  
being disrupted. They came there to listen to his music, not to take  
part in political discourse.
