AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

AI & Artist Backlash: Suno pulled a Mary J. Blige ad after saying the singer was “uncomfortable,” and the company claims it dealt with someone who wasn’t her official representative—another flashpoint in the AI-music fight. Live Entertainment Antitrust: AEG and SeatGeek urged a federal judge to reject DOJ’s Live Nation/Ticketmaster settlement guardrails, arguing divestiture is needed to restore competition. Music TV Returns: BET revived the Soul Train Awards for Nov. 27, moving the show to Chicago and simulcasting on CBS and multiple BET/Viacom channels. Local Music Venues: Burlington’s Radio Bean faces closure over a steep liquor-liability premium, sparking community pushback. Pop Culture & Stardom: Harry Styles’ Madison Square Garden residency is being framed as putting him in Taylor Swift’s commercial lane. Community Music Events: Key West Womenfest runs through Sunday with music, drag, and arts programming, while a new “The Vault” venue in Louisville opens for private events in a historic tunnel. Industry People: Carla Jeffery (Zombies) died at 33.
