Movers and shakers: All Things Live, Goldenvoice

All Things Live has named Coen ter Wolbeek as Group Chief Operating Officer (COO), effective November 1 2024.

Wolbeek brings over 30 years of industry expertise, having co-founded Agents After All, one of the largest independent companies in the Dutch live entertainment market.

The Amsterdam-based promoter, which is involved in more than 1,500 concerts annually in the Netherlands, was acquired by All Things Live in December 2022.

Wolbeek will continue to co-manage the careers of several Dutch artists through Agents After All alongside his new role as Group COO at All Things Live.

“Exactly 20 years after founding Agents After All and growing it into the powerhouse as it is today, I am ready for the next chapter,” he says.

“Agents After All and All Things Live started their cooperation in 2022, and I’ve witnessed its rise as one of Europe’s most exciting independent live entertainment companies. The Group is well-positioned for further international expansion, and I am eager to contribute to its growth by creating more opportunities for the talented artists we represent and working alongside the ambitious team and co-owners.”

Gry Mølleskog, Group CEO of All Things Live, commented: “We are thrilled to welcome Coen ter Wolbeek to our Management team. His extensive experience and proven track record in the live entertainment industry will be invaluable as we continue to expand our business across Europe. Coen’s strategic insight and passion for industry will help drive our growth and strengthen our position as a leading independent player.”
