John Langford – AEG | The meaning & impact of live music

Have you ever been to a large #arena and thought to yourself, “Damn – this place is huge.”?! 😳🤩

John Langford, the COO of AEG Europe, knows all about that feeling as he is responsible for the operations of some of the largest arenas in #Europe, including the #O2ArenaLodon, the #MercedesBenzArenaBerlin, and the #BarclaysArenaHamburg. 🏟

Philip and John had a beautiful conversation about John’s career path and the importance of live #music. John, who grew up in South Africa explained how he got into managing well-known arenas that host world stars on a regular basis. He lived in #Alaska, #SouthAfrica and the #UnitedKingdom and his love for live music is evident, especially after his experience at a #MichaelJackson concert he couldn't attend, but still managed to somehow be there. Curios? You should be!

He also told us about the interesting and impressive way of responsibly handling the #sustainability part of arena operations. Philip and John finished off by sharing their love for beer and the German Reinheitsgebot. 

Enjoy the show!
