Marek Lieberberg, the CEO of Live Nation Concerts Germany, will co-promote the CTS Eventim-owned Rock am Ring and Rock im Park festivals this year.
The twin festivals, which Lieberberg founded in 1985 and 1993, respectively, are owned by Eventim via its live music subsidiary Medusa Group, which owns Lieberberg’s former company, Marek Lieberberg Konzertagentur (MLK). Lieberberg left MLK for the newly formed Live Nation Germany on 31 December 2015.
The festivals take place concurrently from 3 to 5 June – Rock am Ring in Mendig on an old airbase and Rock im Park at the Zeppelinfeld in Nuremberg. Combined they have an attendance of over 150,000.
Lieberg spoke about his decision to leave MLK, which he founded in 1987, for Live Nation at Eurosonic Noorderslag earlier this month.
