CALL MY AGENT:
NICK STORCH

HITS presents a brand-new feature on the agents who work behind the scenes to help get your favorite tours up and running. Do they want to deal with us? We're pretty sure that's a no. But ready or not, here comes...

Nick Storch: EVP/Global Touring, IAG

A punk rocker, hardcore enthusiast and heavy-metal maniac, Storch has been a fixture in the live rock business for more than 23 years at IAG and during prior stints with Face the Music Touring, The Agency Group and ICM Partners.

He currently oversees such acts as Ghost, Sleep Token, Frank Turner, Disturbed, Falling in Reverse, Limp Bizkit, Sabaton, Spiritbox, Slaughter to Prevail and Drain—a Kerrang! reader's dream!

And now, two questions:

Name a music figure you admire.

Metallica. They truly care about their fans and do the work to show that. They always do things differently.

You can go back in time and see any concert. Who would you see and which year?

Bob Dylan at the Newport Folk Festival, 7/25/1965, or The Ramones on 3/30/1974—their first-ever show in a small studio. Both punk as fuck!
