**Istanbul Cancels Robbie Williams Concert Over Safety Fears Following Anti-Israel Activist Pressure**
Istanbul authorities have canceled Robbie Williams’ upcoming concert in the city following online backlash. The singer was labeled a Zionist due to his ties to Israel and his Jewish family, leading to concerns over safety.
The decision came amid pressure from anti-Israel activists who campaigned against the show, prompting officials to reconsider the event to avoid potential security risks.
Robbie Williams was recently seen performing at the FIFA Club World Cup final held at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on July 13, 2025. This cancellation marks a significant development amid ongoing tensions related to artists’ political associations.
