Michael Rapino, CEO and President of Live Nation Entertainment, stated: \u201cSaymon and SD Concerts have built an extraordinary business based on deep local knowledge and a great passion for live music. We are joining a consolidated regional leader to help even more Latin artists reach global audiences and connect international artists with fans throughout Latin America.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saymon D\u00edaz,<\/strong> founder and CEO of SD Concerts, who will continue to lead the business, commented: \u201cLive music is booming throughout the region, and we are proud of the role SD Concerts has played in that growth. Partnering with Live Nation gives us the global infrastructure to continue growing and supporting the next generation of Latin talent. This alliance will bring bigger shows to more places and create even more unforgettable live music experiences for fans in the Dominican Republic and throughout Latin America.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The concert industry continues to gain momentum in Latin America, with Live Nation events in the region registering an increase of over 25% in fan attendance during the first quarter of 2025. The growing demand for live experiences is driven by the global rise of artists who sing in languages other than English, who now represent twice as many of the top 50 Live Nation tours compared to 2019. This momentum highlights Latin America’s growing role as a powerhouse in global tours and Live Nation’s involvement in creating more opportunities for artists and audiences to connect through live music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
