UTA UPPED THE '24 ANTE WITH HUGE LATIN TOURS

UTA is celebrating both in English and Spanish as 2024 winds down, largely thanks to the massive success of its Latin department and such superstars as Bad Bunny and KAROL G.

The latter's MAÑANA SERÁ BONITO tour grossed upwards of $313m and sold 2.3m tickets on 65 shows. The artist is overseen at UTA by Jbeau Lewis, Jules De Lattre, Carlos Abreu and Tom Matthews.

As for Bad Bunny, also repped by Lewis as well as Toni Wallace and Nigel Meiojas (above) with Global Head of Music David Zedeck, grossed about $200m on his Live Nation-promoted Most Wanted Tour. The 46-date North American outing shifted more than 700k tickets.

UTA also scored with the return of 2000s-era hard-rock act Creed (below), which posted some of the most surprising box-office numbers of the summer on its first tour since 2012. The Ken Fermaglich/Nicole Schoen Visconti-repped band grossed $60m in sales and moved more than 800k tickets on its Summer of ’99 and Are You Ready tours, which also included support from such UTA clients as 3 Doors Down, Daughtry, Switchfoot and Big Wreck.

Elsewhere, The Kid LAROI (Mike G, Aaron Arkin) sold more than 72k tickets in Australia alone as part of The First Time Tour, while U.K. electronic music legend Underworld (Samantha Kirby Yoh, Scott Schreiber, Marissa Loil) played the most shows its members had in eight years, including high-profile festivals in Europe and Japan.
