Live Nation UK

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Live Nation UK is the United Kingdom subsidiary of Live Nation International, formerly the entertainment division of Clear Channel, a major US media conglomerate but now a separate and independent corporation world-wide. As Clear Channel UK, Live Nation UK acquired the Mean Fiddler organisation, giving it a stake in most major music festivals and medium-sized London music venues. It is expected to continue expanding over the next few years.
