American Music Event Companies

I thought it would be helpful to also research American music event companies, given my plans to move over and find employment in the US next year. I decided to do this research by also looking at the companies that put on the events I would love to work on over there, as follows:

• Coachella
• Stage Coach
• Burning Man
• Outside Lands
• Electric Daisy Carnival
• Ultra Music Festival
• Beyond Wonderland
• Escape from Wonderland
• Together As One

COACHELLA & STAGE COACH - GOLDEN VOICE

Research tells me that Coachella was founded by Paul Tollett and organised by Goldenvoice, a subsidary of AEG Live (a live entertainment promotion subsidary of Anschutz Entertainment Group, the world's largest live show promoter). So quite impressive. Their headquarters are in Los Angeles, California, which fits in really well with my plans to stay in Cali. Definitely a company to keep an eye on...


BURNING MAN - BURNING MAN FOUNDATION

Burning Man is without a doubt my most favourite event in the whole, entire world and it would be my asbolute dream job to work for the Burning Man Foundation. They're based in San Francisco, which although I prefer Southern California for the heat I would be willing to make the move up to Northern California for a job with them. The main reason I would love to work for Burning Man is because I'd be working for a company who I really believe in and love what they stand for. I've been keeping an eye on any job openings for a while now, and will continue to do so.



ELECTRIC DAISY CARNIVAL, BEYOND WONDERLAND, ESCAPE FROM WONDERLAND & TOGETHER AS ONE -  INSOMNIAC

Insomniac is one of the BIGGEST big guns when it comes to the EDM scene in the US, and so working for them would really be a privilege. They've been producing events since 1993, which means that they're a very established company, and produce some of the biggest EDM events in North America. Having been to all of the above festivals, I know that they produce amazing quality music events with a great focus on art as well, and would love to work for them some time in the future.


OUTSIDE LANDS -

There doesn't seem to be much info on who actually produces Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival on the web, except that it's been running since 2008. More digging required.


ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL -

Ultra Music Festival was founded in 1999 by business partners Russell Faibisch and Alex Omes and is based in Miami. Although I'm not too keen on living in Miami, I would consider it if I got a job working on Ultra since it is considered to be "the world's premiere electronic musi festival" by many.
