Is Live Nation about to axe its new German tours division?
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 15 December 2010
Live Nation is planning on scaling back its German live music operations, which it only launched back in March, according to a report in German magazine Business Week.
Live Nation announced earlier this year that it was launching its own concert division in Germany for the first time, its interests in the territory having previously centred on its stake in Marek Lieberberg Konzertagentur.
Hamburg-based Johannes Wessels was brought in to head the new division, but he is seemingly now out, and it is sources close to him that have told Business Week the Live Nation Germany experiment could be culled altogether. The move would not effect Ticketmaster’s German operations.
Live Nation is yet to comment.
