MUSICAL CHAIRS: Live Nation Concerts has announced new executive appointments for a pair of high-end L.A. venues. Rick Merrill has been named GM of the Wiltern, and Stacey Levine, who’d been overseeing the Wiltern since 2009, is now GM of the Hollywood Palladium. Levine knows the venerable Argyle Ave. hall, having managed several shows at the Palladium this year, while Merrill has been GM of the soon-to-be-razed Gibson since 1993. We’ll miss the Gibson, but probably not as much as Rick will. (8/21a)
