Stephane Lecuyer Appointed Chief Operating Officer of The MRG Group and Managing Director of MRG Live

One of Canada's biggest independent music promoters has added to its leadership as it continues to expand.

Stephane Lecuyer is stepping into a new role as chief operating officer (COO) of The MRG Group and managing director of MRG Live.

One of Canada's biggest independent live music companies, the MRG Group and MRG Live have taken over operations for multiple Canadian events and venues in recent months. Back in August, the former acquired for Kelowna, B.C. Venue, Revelry, and the latter obtained a free, two-day Burlington, Ontario waterfront music festival, formerly known as Sound of Music Festival, in October. As both organizations’ portfolios continue to grow, Lecuyer is coming on in a dual leadership role.
