OLENIK LEAPS TO LIVE NATION

Longtime Goldenvoice talent buyer Lesley Olenik has joined Live Nation as VP of Touring for its U.S. Concerts division. Based in Los Angeles, Olenik will report to Omar Al-Joulani, SVP of Touring.

“With a deep knowledge of the industry and an innate ability to connect with artists, Lesley is the perfect addition to help lead our touring group as we continue to meet the growing demand for concerts,” Al-Joulani said. “We’re extremely happy she decided to make the jump to Live Nation and can’t wait to see what she accomplishes.”

Olenik was most recently Senior Vice President of Talent Buying for Goldenvoice, where she booked and produced concerts throughout Southern California. Among her recent prominent bookings were Adele’s eight-show run at Staples Center, Flume’s four performances at Shrine Expo Hall and two Radiohead concerts at Shrine Auditorium.

She helped launch Tyler, The Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival, and oversaw Festival Supreme, L.A. Bluegrass Situation, Fool’s Gold Day Off and Low End Theory.
