Rcf Arena: Kanye West and Travis Scott shows banned

The Prefecture of Reggio Emilia has banned the Kanye West and Travis Scott concerts scheduled at the RCF Arena, a decision that risks permanently closing the chapter on the festival originally announced as Hellwatt Festival and later renamed Pulse of Gaia.
The measure was adopted at the end of a meeting at the Prefecture attended by the mayor of Reggio Emilia, the president of the Province, the police chief, representatives of the Carabinieri, the Guardia di Finanza and the Fire Brigade, as well as the top executives of C.Volo and Coopservice. At the end of the meeting, authorization for the events was denied, effectively preventing them from taking place.

The decision follows reports filed by Codacons and the Jewish Community of Modena and Reggio Emilia, but it is based above all on assessments related to security and the safeguarding of public order. In a statement, the Prefecture explains that it took into account "the close time proximity between the events and the high turnout of the public expected within a 24-hour span."
The overall assessment was also influenced by the cancellation of previous Kanye West concerts in other countries and the concrete risk of counter-demonstrations, factors that led the authorities to issue a negative opinion on the organization of the two shows.
