Live Nation Entertainment has acquired Poland-based promoter Go Ahead.
Go Ahead was founded in 2005 by Łukasz Minta and Andrzej Jegliczka and is based in Poznan, where Live Nation Poland will now open a regional office.
Live Nation Poland’s central office will remain in Warsaw.
Go Ahead is one of Poland’s leading club promoters and has worked with the likes of Wolf Alice, Khalid, Twenty One Pilots, Years & Years, George Ezra, Florence + the Machine and Tom Odell among others.
In addition to bringing global stars to Polish audiences, Go Ahead organises an annual three-day showcase event and conference in Poznan called Spring Break, which is aimed at promoting Polish musical acts.
“Go Ahead has brought many international artists to Poland over the years and we are confident about what we can achieve together in this new era for us.”
