NASHVILLE, TN (CelebrityAccess) – Independent live music entertainment company MAMMOTH announced the launch of a new touring division led by industry veterans Rob Owens and Angela Brown. With a combined experience of five decades, Brown and Owens continue to demonstrate why major artists are moving away from traditional touring companies, offering a more beneficial alternative for tour partnerships.
For 18 years, MAMMOTH Touring has collaborated on tours with a long list of major artists, including Cardi B, Rod Wave, Future, Turnpike Troubadours, KANSAS, Mamamoo, Moneybagg Yo, Chapel Hill, Future, Ms. Lauryn Hill & Fugees, In This Moment, Lil Baby, Tracy Lawrence and Clay Walker, and more. This year is proving to be influential for the company, which, along with AG Entertainment Touring, has just announced that they are producing acclaimed Hip-Hop artist JT’s City Cinderella Tour and Jamaican Dancehall legend Buju Banton’s US tour.
Owens and Brown’s leadership is driving the success of the new department. Owens was named President of Global Touring in April 2023, while Brown is the latest addition to the team, joining in September 2023 as President of Global Tour Marketing.
Owens says, “I’m proud to be part of a team that has such a strong track record. We are focused on growth, creating long-lasting partnerships, and continuing to expand MAMMOTH’s imprint domestically and internationally.” Owens and Brown lend their extensive experience working alongside the rest of the MAMMOTH team and their partners AG Entertainment and CTS Eventim.
Owens is based within the company’s new touring office headquartered in Nashville, TN, adding to the continued growth of a nationwide operation. With a highly accomplished background in the entertainment and booking industry and more than 25 years of experience, Owens knows the ins and outs of the field. His wide-ranging expertise from booking shows and tours for Glass Animals, Maggie Rogers, Rufus du Sol, Odesza, and Maren Morris, among others, adds another element to the MAMMOTH team.
Brown, a St. Louis native with nearly three decades of marketing experience, is excited about the future, “Being part of a team charged with launching a new component of an already proven industry leader like Mammoth is a professional milestone,” Brown added, “Mammoth has some exciting live entertainment announcements coming this year, and I’m eager to lead the marketing team to success.”
Before joining MAMMOTH, Brown held several positions at Live Nation (LN), including Vice President (VP) of marketing in the Midwest. Throughout her career, Brown has been a driving force in marketing shows for global superstars and box office behemoths like Beyonce, Billy Joel, Kevin Hart, Luke Bryan, and Janet Jackson.
JT’s City Cinderella Tour was announced in July 2024. The tour kicks off on August 20 in Kansas City and will stop in 21 other cities across the US, including Dallas, TX. Chicago, Washington, DC, Philly, Atlanta, New York and Los Angeles.
MAMMOTH will continue to expand its footprint in the US and globally, pursuing unique partnerships with artists, independent promoters, and venues.
