Istanbul Cancels Robbie Williams Concert Over Safety Fears Following Anti-Israel Activist Pressure
Istanbul authorities have canceled Robbie Williams’ upcoming show amid safety concerns sparked by online backlash. The backlash labeled the singer a Zionist due to his ties to Israel and his Jewish family background.
The decision comes after increased pressure from anti-Israel activists who expressed their opposition on social media and other platforms. Organizers cited potential security risks as the primary reason for the cancellation.
Robbie Williams was scheduled to perform at the FIFA Club World Cup final at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on July 13, 2025. This cancellation marks a significant development in the intersection of entertainment and geopolitical tensions.
