Montreal truly comes alive thanks to its summer concerts and festivals, and evenko is keeping the heart of the city beating. The company operates under Groupe CH, with France Margaret Bélanger at the helm of Sports and Entertainment, and is keeping a market share stronghold on Quebec’s live music scene. Last year, Nick Farkas, who is also co-founder of Osheaga, organized a blockbuster month between July and August that welcomed two nights of The Weeknd’s stadium-sized tour, and the Osheaga, ÎleSoniq and LASSO festivals, collectively drawing over 350,000 fans to the site in just four weeks. Melissa Giampaolo spearheads the company’s ticketing and premium strategies, the sale of over 1,600 events, strategic partnerships and revenue/ growth. It’s been a successful tandem, with evenko selling over 2.6 million tickets across Quebec and Eastern Canada last year.
