Live Nation Entertainment formally announced the hiring of Steve Ackles as Senior Director of Touring and Anna Plumley as Senior Director of Marketing on the company's U.S. touring team. Both Ackles and Plumley join Live Nation from AEG Presents, bringing over two decades of touring and marketing experience to their new roles.

Ackles will help oversee national stadium and arena tours throughout North America, while Plumley will market a range of artists including tours with new Live Nation partner, Frank Productions. Both will be based in Los Angeles and will report to Omar Al-Joulani, SVP of North American Touring and Ryan McElrath, SVP of North American Touring.

The announcement follows a string of new hires within Live Nation’s U.S. Concerts division as it continues scaling to meet the growing demand for live events.

“With the expansion of our touring team, Live Nation is able to service an even wider breadth of artists and help them cultivate the best live experience for their fans,” said Bob Roux, President of U.S. Concerts. “Steve and Anna have already hit the ground running and we’re thrilled to have them on our team."

Please wait a decent interval before asking Steve and Anna for tickets to stuff.
