Top Touring Agencies, Concert Promoters Recommend Halting Tours Through March

A global task force of live entertainment industry professionals including reps from Live Nation, WME, CAA, AEG, Paradigm, and UTA has been formed to offer strategic support and unified direction to ensure that precautionary efforts and ongoing novel coronavirus protocol are in the best interest of artists, fans, staff, and the global community.

The task force includes Michael Rapino (CEO and President, Live Nation Entertainment), Dan Beckerman (President and CEO, AEG & Board Member, ASM Global), Jay Marciano (Chairman and CEO, AEG Presents), Rob Light (Managing Partner and Head of the Music Division, CAA), Marc Geiger (Partner and Head of Music, WME), Sam Gores (Chairman, Paradigm), Marty Diamond (Head of Global Music, Paradigm) and David Zedeck (Partner and Global Head Of Music, UTA).

“At this time, we collectively recommend large scale events through the end of March be postponed. This recommendation is specific to the U.S. and countries deemed level 3 by the CDC. We continue to support that small-scale events in these regions follow guidance set by their local government officials. We feel fortunate to have the flexibility to reschedule concerts, festivals, and live events as needed, and look forward to connecting fans with all their favorite artists and live entertainment soon.”
