Live Nation festivals chief becomes Music COO
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 16 December 2008
Another promotion to a COO role now, this time in the live sector. Live Nation UK has announced that John Probyn, previously the live music major’s UK Festival Director, has been promoted to the role of COO for their UK Music division.
He will continue to oversee the company’s flagship festivals, Hard Rock Calling, Wireless and Download, but also take over responsibility for all UK promotions, marketing, PR, hospitality and productions, which sounds like rather a large remit.
Confirming the appointment, Paul Latham, President of UK Music and Venues for Live Nation, told CMU: “John’s past achievements speak for itself and I look forward to working with him on strengthening our portfolio. John is an integral part of our organisation and I congratulate him on his appointment”.
Probyn himself added: “I am delighted with my new appointment and look forward to the challenges ahead”.
