Ioannis Panagopoulos rejoins Live Nation GSA

Live Nation GSA (Germany, Switzerland, Austria) has announced that Ioannis ‘Pana’ Panagopoulos has rejoined the company as director of A&R.

Panagopoulos previously spent more than five years with the firm prior to switching to CTS Eventim’s DreamHaus as director of talent buying in 2021.

“I am absolutely delighted to welcome Pana back to the Live Nation family, both personally and professionally,” Andre Lieberberg, Live Nation GSA president and MD, tells IQ. “He brings with him a wonderful roster of outstanding artists and a wealth of relationships, further strengthening the top tier of our promoter and booking team.

“I believe that his ‘homecoming’ also underscores the culture and vision we aspire to build here at Live Nation GSA, so really am looking forward to what will all accomplish together in the years ahead.”

Panagopoulos’ re-appointment is effective from today (2 December).

“I am very much looking forward to be working with some of my old and new German and international friends again”

“After three and a half years at DreamHaus and being and part of their amazing team, I decided that it is time for a new adventure,” he says. “I’m very grateful for everything and it was a real pleasure to work with each and everyone in the company.

“Now, I am totally thrilled and excited to rejoin André, Uli [Meyer-Madaus], Marek [Lieberberg] and their brilliant team at Live Nation GSA. I am very much looking forward to be working with some of my old and new German and international friends again. I really can’t wait.”

It was revealed in September that Berlin-based DreamHaus and fellow CTS subsidiary Peter Rieger Konzertagentur (PRK) were merging to form a combined company, PRK DreamHaus.
