The world’s largest concert promoter, Live Nation, has joined the list of companies, corporations and organizations in the entertainment world to cease business with the Russian Federation following their ongoing invasion campaign in Ukraine.

In a statement released on social media and multiple media outlets, a spokesperson for Live Nation wrote, “Live Nation joins the world in strongly condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. We will not promote shows in Russia, and we will not do business with Russia. We’re in the process of reviewing our vendors so we can cease work with any and all Russian-based suppliers.” In the statement Live Nation also applauded all the musicians who are using their voices to promote peace.

Live Nation opened their Moscow regional office in both Moscow and Ukraine in 2012; the regional market at the time had a combined population of over 200 million people.

Other organizations in the industry that have made public stance include Universal Music Group and venue management and consultancy Oak View Group.

Universal Music Group made a statement on Instagram that reads: “The situation in Ukraine affects millions of innocent civilians with urgent humanitarian needs – from food and water to shelter and clothing. UMG and our employees are proud to support organizations providing assistance to refugees in need.”
