TEG has announced a new multi-year strategic alliance with Empire Touring.
Empire Touring was founded by Marc Christowski in 1982 and is now run by Christowski and general manager Isobel Lanesman.
Empire has previously worked with the likes of Paul Kelly, Midnight Oil, Kasey Chambers, John Williamson, Missy Higgins, Tim Finn, Grinspoon, Spiderbait, Richard Clapton and Ian Moss, and is home to the Pure Gold Live, Spring Loaded and Rock At The Races events.
“Marc and Isobel have built a business with a storied history and a great future, particularly given their clever pivot to focus on Australia’s wealth of homegrown talent,” said TEG CEO Geoff Jones of the deal.
“TEG has a proud track record of supporting Australian artists and we are thrilled to be working with Marc and Isobel to deliver more festivals and concerts to Australian audiences.”
“Geoff and his team have really built a global powerhouse in TEG and we are hugely excited to have formed this strategic alliance,” added Christowski.
“This gives Empire Touring a platform to step up our ambitions by working with TEG to produce a very busy calendar of events that will help to reinvigorate Australia’s live entertainment scene for fans, who are champing at the bit to get out there and see their favourite acts.”
Empire and TEG's first shows together will happen this December with the Pure Gold Live events in Sydney, featuring Richard Clapton, Dragon, Thirsty Merc, Radiators, Choirboys, Shannon Noll, Mi-Sex, Wendy Matthews, Steve Kilbey and GANGgajang's Mark Callaghan on the line-up.
