Kanye West’s Georgia Concert Draws Concern over Reported Live Nation Israel Connection
The concert sold 70,000 tickets in one day, while Live Nation said it is not producing the show and Blue Stone Productions is handling it.
- On June 12, Kanye West, known as Ye, is scheduled to perform at Dinamo Arena in Tbilisi as part of the government-backed Starring Georgia initiative, with all 70,000 available tickets selling out within a single day.
- While reports initially linked the event to Live Nation, a spokesperson clarified that Blue Stone Productions, founded by Israeli promoter Guy Beser, is producing the concert, with staff already arrived in Tbilisi.
- West's history of antisemitic remarks previously led to concert cancellations across several European countries following widespread criticism of his inflammatory public comments and Nazi imagery references.
- Industry figures criticized the production ties, with one executive calling the Israeli-linked promoters' involvement "very disturbing," though West recently published an apology in The Wall Street Journal.
- Despite ongoing criticism surrounding West's past conduct, the concert remains scheduled to proceed as Starring Georgia aims to expand the country's profile as a destination for large-scale international entertainment.
