The western Canada team is also getting a new leader in Ryan Balaski as Senior Vice President — Music (Canada). Also based in Vancouver, Balaski moves up within the company, transitioning from the festivals team to a more general position crafting Canadian concerts strategy. Balaski helped launch Coast City Country this year, bringing the first large-scale country festival to Vancouver.
"The live music industry is thriving," says Balaski. "I’m excited to contribute to its growth by bringing new content to fans and creating opportunities for both developing and established artists."
Balaski's statement echoes a recent sentiment from Tim Leiweke of Oak View Group, who is working with Live Nation on the planned Hamilton arena. "It’s a healthy industry," Leiweke said. "It's what people have been talking about forever in our industry, which the transfer of power from recording to touring – because that's where the money is."
