WILLIAMS POWERS BOOKING AT DWP

Del Williams will oversee the booking of all Danny Wimmer Presents festivals, one-offs and special events in his new role as global head of talent.

He will also work with Billy Brill and Seth Shomes to grow the representation of DWP Talent Services, a division focused on entertainment for casinos and fairs. DWP’s current festival roster includes Aftershock, Bourbon & Beyond and Welcome to Rockville.

“Del is part of the core fabric of DWP, going back to our roots in the Rock on the Range days. He was there when we started this company and it's fitting that he'll help guide us as we continue to develop and grow our business,” said DWP CEO Danny Hayes. “Our relationships with the artists and their representatives are more important than ever and we are thrilled to have someone as respected and skilled as Del to lead that charge.”

Williams has spent more than two decades as a talent booker and was instrumental in the early success of Radiohead, Dave Matthews Band, Coldplay and others. He co-created Rock on the Range, Carolina Rebellion and KROQ’s Inland Invasion.
