A Look Into The Life Of Gay Mercader

In the next installment of our video interview series, Pollstar’s European correspondent sits down with Spanish promoter legend Gay Mercader.

The list of acts Mercader brought to Spain is too long to spell in full. It includes The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, Sting, Phil Collins, Neil Young, Stevie Wonder, Leonard Cohen, Pearl Jam, Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Elton John, Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, Patti Smith, Queen, Tom Jones, Santana, Diana Ross, Gay Mercader and many more.

Mercader is slowly but surely retiring, though he still promotes shows when asked. So this three-part interview series is the closest thing to his autobiography until he decides to write the real thing.
