"We’ve always wanted to work more on the touring side of the business, and with the growth and innovation of our company and the amount of experience we’ve been able to acquire, it feels like the natural time for us to expand," Logemann told theMusic.com.au. 

"We hold our relationships around the world in very high esteem and we love doing good business with good people. This is going to be an absolute blast."
