Paquin Entertainment Group continues to be a global powerhouse and the market-leading booking agency. Founded by patriarch Gilles Paquin, the diversified entertainment group recently doubled down on its investment into live music and artist development, anchoring major global tours for icons like Bryan Adams, Sarah McLachlan, and The Offspring. The company's music division, Paquin Artists Agency, continues to aggressively scale its operations. Paquin has assembled a dream team of agents led by Gilles' son and co-president Julien Paquin alongside key leaders like Jack Ross and Jason Furman. Operating out of offices in Winnipeg, Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal, the agency commands an elite roster featuring Nickelback and Simple Plan. Co-president Vinny Cinquemani transcends the list this year, becoming one of the inaugural Billboard Canada Hall of Famers. But Paquin's empire stretches far beyond traditional touring. Paquin Exhibitions & Theatrical, led by younger son Justin Paquin, saw record-breaking success with its international Beyond Van Gogh exhibit, which has sold more than 5 million tickets across 80 cities worldwide, while preparing to launch its most ambitious immersive production to date, Celestia. Paquin’s expansion is swift, with big plans to deepen its presence not only across Canada, but across the border and throughout the world.
