AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoWorld Cup Music Takeover (LA): FIFA’s Los Angeles opener leaned hard into global pop, with Rema, BLACKPINK’s Lisa and Anitta debuting “Goals,” while Future and Tyla performed “Game Time,” and Katy Perry closed with “Wonder” alongside Tius Luka—plus Dan + Shay and Purahei Soul for the anthem moments. Global Pop on the Big Screen: The Michael Jackson biopic Michael just overtook Bohemian Rhapsody as the highest-grossing music biopic ever, hitting $911.9M worldwide and edging toward $1B. Classical Meets Football (London): The Royal Opera Chorus brought Puccini’s “Nessun Dorma” to Covent Garden as the tournament kicked off. Community Through Song & Sport (Leeds/Boston): Leeds care homes opened for World Cup watch parties to fight loneliness, while Boston’s fan festival turned City Hall Plaza into a music-and-culture hub for Scotland and Canada. Festival Pressure (UK): Womad in Glasgow was cancelled after low ticket sales, another sign of rising “eat-and-drink risk” for small operators.
