Live Nation cancels concert for Japan
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 4 April 2011
Live Nation has cancelled a large scale concert to be held in aid of the relief effort in Japan, after it was unable to book enough artists to perform. Which is a bit embarrassing. The show had been due to take place at Wembley Arena later this month and would have been broadcast on the BBC and NBC.
A spokesperson for Live Nation told Music Week last week: “Unfortunately, with now only thirteen days to go to the proposed concert for Japan, sadly we are in a position where we have been unable to secure the artists required to produce the worldwide TV broadcast that we had hoped for and have therefore very reluctantly decided to proceed no further”.
