LABORDE BOARDS AEG PRESENTS U.K. 

Lee Laborde has joined AEG Presents U.K. as senior VP of its promoting division.

Arriving after 15 years at Live Nation, he will report to AEG Presents U.K. CEO Steve Homer.

“Lee is someone I've known for many years and simply put, he is one of the best in the business—the roster of artists he works with is testament to that,” Homer said. “In 2022 our team delivered unprecedented success, and Lee's role will be instrumental in helping AEG Presents U.K. continue to grow and expand on this success.”

At Live Nation, Laborde worked with a number of big acts from the beginning of their careers, including Dua Lipa, Twenty One Pilots, Imagine Dragons and London Grammar.

Laborde’s appointment is the latest in a number of moves by AEG Presents U.K.; the company recently tapped Chris Wareing and Paris Harding to build out its presence in the hip-hop and rap space, and Lucy Noble joined as its first artistic director. AEG has also just opened a new venue, The Halls Wolverhampton, and invested in the comedy space, a gambit led by Georgie Donnelly.
