The municipality of Frankfurt announced on Friday that it is canceling the upcoming show of former Pink Floyd singer Roger Waters, citing his alleged status as “one of the world’s most well-known antisemites” as the reason.

The performance was supposed to take place on May 28 at the “Festhalle” complex in the German city. In the statement of the city council that announced the cancellation, it was noted that the location was also used for the detention of 3,000 Jewish men who were arrested after Kristallnacht, between November 9-10, 1938, in which Nazis attacked Jews and destroyed their property. The men were abused and later deported to concentration camps.

Since 60% of the “Festhalle” shares belonged to the municipality, the city council was able to cancel the performance. They had submitted their decision to a judge to cancel Waters’s appearance beforehand.
