Promoted by Live Nation, Life Is a Carnival is executive produced by Martin Scorsese — with whom Robertson worked on several films including 2023's Killers of the Flower Moon — as well as Jared Levine and Keith Wortman.

A portion of the event's proceeds will be donated to The Woodland Cultural Centre, located in Brantford, Ontario, Canada, near Robertson's Toronto hometown.

Levine, the late musician's manager of 34 years, confirmed his death "after a long illness" in a press release issued Aug. 9.

“Robbie was surrounded by his family at the time of his death, including his wife, Janet, his ex-wife, Dominique, her partner Nicholas, and his children Alexandra, Sebastian, Delphine, and Delphine’s partner Kenny,” Levine said in a statement. “In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that donations be made to the Six Nations of the Grand River to support the building of their new cultural center."

The concert's announcement comes after Robertson's children Delphine, Sebastian and Alexandra, along with trustees of Robertson’s estate and trust, Adriane Hibbert and David Jackel sued his widow, Janet Zuccarini, accusing her of financial elder abuse” and “tortious interference with inheritance" in May.

According to court documents obtained by PEOPLE at the time, the complaint calls for the cancellation of Robertson and Zuccarini’s TIC amendment, signed in March 2023, and compensatory and punitive damages.

A lawyer for Zuccarini told the Los Angeles Times the complaint is “meritless fiction.”
