Since the coronavirus pandemic, the live industry as a whole is seeing success unlike ever before, and every promoter has achieved it in their own way.
Trends in the U.S. don’t always translate in the United Kingdom, and whatever is popping in France doesn’t mean it will see similar success in Germany. Europe isn’t an easy region to navigate for live entertainment professionals, but they find a way to make it work and make key contributions to the global business.
Five of the smartest executives from Europe, Phil Bowdery, Executive President of International Touring @ Live Nation, Gary Hutchinson, Executive Vice President Global Touring and Content @ Oak View Group, Toby Leighton-Pope, MD Europe @ TEG Live Europe, Jim King, Chief Executive Officer European Festival Division @ AEG Presents and Rauha Kyyrö, President Touring & Artist Development @ FKP Scorpio gathered at Pollstar Live! to share their insights and triumphs, as well as the challenges that exist today in the ever-evolving live landscape.
