The partnership brings together AEG Presents’ global live entertainment expertise and Creativeman’s experience in concert promotion and events across Japan.

The two companies will work together to create more opportunities for artists to connect with Japanese audiences while continuing to improve the live experience for fans. The partnership also creates a potential platform for AXS, AEG Presents’ ticketing company, to expand its presence across the region.
