Following the Live Nation deal, Geniso will continue to oversee all operations the company, Live Nation said.

Live Nation has previously co-promoted numerous shows with Geniso, U2, Rolling Stones, Guns N’ Roses, Paul McCartney and Justin Bieber.

“Teaming up with Live Nation will give us access to resources that will be instrumental in growing our substantial roster of shows even further,” said Geniso. “The DG Medios team and I are excited to provide even more memorable experiences for fans.”
