UpdatesJLo backtracks on Moscow concert – media

Megastar Jennifer Lopez is reportedly open to performing in Russia after the Ukraine conflict ends

American pop singer Jennifer Lopez has cancelled a planned concert in Moscow set for August, according to media reports.

Lopez, also known as JLo, and her management reportedly reached an agreement to perform in the Russian capital roughly three months ago. A fee of at least $1 million was agreed, and a date was set, Mash Telegram channel reported on Tuesday.

Discussions reportedly began after Russian promoters inquired about Lopez during her regional tour through Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Armenia in August. The parties signed a letter of intent, but the singer’s team later backed out.

While citing reputational risks associated with the Ukraine conflict as a reason for refusal, sources said Lopez herself is open to performing once the conflict is over.

Evgeny Finkelstein of leading Russian concert agency PMI, who is believed to have led the negotiations, did not deny the reports when questioned but declined to comment further.

Jennifer Lopez last performed in Moscow in August 2019 as part of her ‘It’s My Party’ tour.

Several Western artists have cancelled previously scheduled Russia appearances in the wake of the Ukraine conflict and ensuing cultural boycotts. Last year, Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, was reportedly offered a staggering $8 million to play a concert in Moscow but, despite agreeing to the sum, eventually turned down the proposal. He came to Moscow, however, on a private visit in June 2024.
