The move is part of Live Nation’s continued push to expand its presence in Latin America. Earlier this year, the promoter announced it had made a majority investment in Bizarro Peru, one of the country’s leading promoters, and in 2023, it acquired a majority stake in Colombia’s Páramo Presenta, the company that produces leading festival Estereo Picnic. In turn, that deal was executed through OCESA, which Live Nation acquired a controlling interest of in December of 2021.
Dale Play Live is the live arm of entertainment company Dale Play, whose holdings also include Dale Play Management and Dale Play Records, which is home to Bizarrap, Rels B and Duki, among others, and which Lauria owns in partnership with Rimas (Bad Bunny’s label) and Sony.
