Napalm Events Expands Into North America
– Napalm Events
Napalm Events is establishing a presence in North America, setting up shop out of Napalm Records’ office in Hoboken, N.J.
The booking agency was launched by Napalm Records with offices already in Germany and Austria. The agency offers transportation, VISA application, merchandising/printing, marketing and more.
It already books Jinjer, Scott Stapp and Mushroomhead, and it works with artists who are not signed to the record label like Dagoba and Dwaal.
Napalm Events managing director Thomas Caser said in a statement: “Challenging times create new opportunities, we are thrilled to launch our full-service booking agency in North America. Our center of attention at NAPALM EVENTS is the artist. Since we are deeply involved with all sides of touring, we know what a modern agency needs to offer in order to create the ideal environment for an artist’s touring ventures.”
Napalm Events agent Thorsten Harm added: “The Napalm Events artist roster has grown quickly during the last few years, and the company has become an internationally-respected booking agency. We’ve booked concerts and tours all over Europe, Asia, Australia, Latin America, and Russia, and helped to develop and break artists worldwide. Exciting new artists and established acts joined the Napalm Events family over the years. Now, I’m looking forward to bringing our amazing artists to North America. It’s exciting!”
