Jones and Attal founded Austin City Limits Music Festival in 2002, inspired by the KLRU/PBS music series of the same name, and helped relaunch Lollapalooza in Chicago in 2005, according to the New York Times. They teamed with Walker to found C3 Presents in 2007 and in 2014 the Charlies sold a controlling stake in the company to Live Nation.
C3 Presents ranked No. 21 on Pollstar’s 2018 Year End Top 100 Promoters chart, based on Worldwide Ticket Sales with 959,799 tickets. As for this year, the company is at No. 29 on the third quarter Top 100 Promoters chart, with 519,353 tickets sold and a gross of $23,316,445.
News of the Charlies appearing at Pollstar Live! Follows last week’s announcement that former Creed frontman Scott Stapp will speak at Pollstar Live! in a candid discussion, entitled “Scott Stapp: Back In The Game,” with Ray Waddell, president of Oak View Group Media & Conferences.
The 2019 conference was attended by more than 2,000 music industry stakeholders, surpassing 2018’s record-setting year, which marked the first under Pollstar’s parent company, Oak View Group.
The annual conference features a variety of panels, keynotes and networking opportunities with the live music industry’s most influential and visionary promoters, producers, agents, managers, entrepreneurs and venue operators, as well as leaders in other sectors aligned with and impacting the touring business.
