In his new role, he will report to AEG Presents Chairman and CEO Jay Marciano and will be joining the company’s Executive Committee.
“I’ve known Brent for close to 30 years and have worked with him almost as long, so it’s especially gratifying to make this announcement,” commented Marciano. “He has a vision, a drive, and an insight into our business that’s been forged over his many years promoting events in every type of venue across the western United States. As Co-President of our Rocky Mountain region, his feel for the business is a key reason AEG Presents is the dominant promoter in the market and the Denver office is one of our top performers. Simply put, he’s the right person for the job.”
“When Jay and I first spoke about this opportunity, I jumped at the chance to work more closely with him, the regional team, and the company as a whole. I’m excited for the challenge ahead, and I can’t wait to dive in; there’s never been a more exhilarating time in live events. I’m grateful for the trust Jay has put in me to guide the business into the future; the ability to do so with the people and the company I love is icing on the cake,” Fedrizzi added.
Fedrizzi began his career in the concert industry in 1991 with Barry Fey in Denver. In 1998, he partnered with Chuck Morris and Don Strasburg to launch Bill Graham Presents/Chuck Morris Presents, laying the foundation for what would eventually become Live Nation in 2005. In 2009, he joined Morris and Strasburg in moving to AEG and launching the company’s Rocky Mountain division, overseeing a region that would become one of the most competitive music markets in the U.S.
