Live and direct. As consumer demand rises for live entertainment experiences – just look at the crowds at Taylor Swift’s Eras tour – KKR has just announced the acquisition of Superstruct Entertainment.

As part of the deal, Providence has the option to invest $250 million in to Superstruct, which under its stewardship has enjoyed strong organic growth; it now operates over 80 music festivals and live events in Europe and Australia including Boardmasters and Sónar. The new partnership is music to the ears of the Superstruct team.
