At His First Show In Georgia, Moby Talks About ‘Music’s Ability to Reach Everybody – And to Reach Them In the Most Personal Way’

Billboard · 4 hours ago

Electronic music pioneer Moby performed his first concert in Georgia on July 30, 2026, at a venue outside Tbilisi as part of his ongoing world tour. In a backstage interview, he described his fascination with the country, noting that Tbilisi felt surprisingly European despite his limited time there. The show was organised by local promoter Flitz Collective with Billboard Georgia as media partner.

During the interview, Moby discussed two central themes. On industry dynamics, he cautioned emerging artists that professional relationships with agents, managers, and labels are fundamentally transactional—people who appear supportive during early success often become distant once commercial momentum fades. On animal rights activism, he argued that the core issue is human inconsistency rather than ethics: most people claim to care about animals and oppose harming them, yet maintain dietary and consumption habits that contradict these stated values, reflecting broader human illogic on environmental and social issues.
