    \n\tIn addition to bringing the companies together to \u201ccreate new opportunities for artists to connect with audiences throughout Japan, while continuing to elevate the fan experience and support the country\u2019s vibrant live music market,\u201d according to a press release, the partnership effectively expands AEG Presents\u2019 ticketing platform, AXS, within the country.<\/p>\n

    \n\t\u201cOver the past 37 years, Creativeman has grown from a company with just two staff members to become the largest independent music promoter in Asia,\u201d Creativeman Productions CEO Naoki Shimizu<\/strong> said in a statement. \u201cThis strategic partnership with AEG Presents will propel our growth as we expand our festivals and artists from Japan to Asia and the rest of the world. The partnership will also connect Summer Sonic with a portfolio of world-class festivals and create a network that joins Coachella in the U.S. and BTS Hyde Park in the U.K., serving as a cornerstone for the music industry\u2019s continued growth.\u201d<\/p>\n

    \n\tShimizu was recently named one of Billboard<\/em>\u2019s Global Power Players. Sitting down with Billboard<\/em>Japan<\/em> for the feature, Shimizu talked about Summer Sonic\u2019s expansion into Bangkok and his hopes that the festival could someday expand into China.<\/p>\n

    Shawn Trell<\/strong>, executive vp and COO at AEG Presents, said of the partnership, \u201cCreativeman is an important presence in Japan and across the region. The company\u2019s vision and business strategy align perfectly with ours, and we\u2019re thrilled to be entering into this partnership together. Beyond Creativeman\u2019s thriving concert and festival business, Summer Sonic has become a globally recognized brand on its own. We can\u2019t wait to see what the future brings.\u201d<\/p>\n
