AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Pop & Politics: Ed Sheeran kicked off his Philadelphia show by calling the Gaza situation “catastrophic and unjustifiable,” after a week of tour turmoil that saw supporting acts withdraw in solidarity with Macklemore, who’d been dropped following pro-Palestinian comments. AI & Copyright: Suno’s latest AI music model is again in the legal crosshairs, with Universal Music and Sony Music arguing it still violates copyright despite licensing deals. Tech & Music Hardware: Hi-fi brands PS Audio and Naim are halting certain CD/SACD transport production as optical drive supply dries up. Live Entertainment: Oprah Winfrey announced four 2027 Sphere performances in Las Vegas blending music, poetry, storytelling and art, featuring Jacob Collier and gospel singer Wintley Phipps. Community Music: Walla Walla’s first Kindie Music Festival lands Sept. 26 with free family programming and local youth-focused acts. Local Scene: A Raichur DJ noise dispute escalated after a father protested outside the deputy commissioner’s home, alleging late-night volume harmed his child.
