Live Nation's EDM chief James Barton on music's U.S. future
On Wednesday, the Los Angeles-based electronic dance music promoter Hard Events was bought by Live Nation Entertainment, one of the world's largest concert and ticketing companies. Hard, which was founded by Gary Richards in 2007, was bought a few months after Live Nation acquired another big electronic music promoter, U.K.-based Cream Holdings, promoter of the popular Creamfields festivals.
