In their first  two years of operation, they have become the leading promoter of  international shows in Israel with a number of highly successful sold  out concerts including Bon Jovi, Backstreet Boys, Enrique Iglesias,  Major Lazer and One Republic. Later this year, the company will promote  concerts by both Aerosmith (May 17) and Guns &#8216;n&#8217; Roses (July 15) in Tel  Aviv.<\/p>\n<p> In addition, the parties have joined forces to form Ticketmaster Israel  (www.tmisrael.co.il) and are already ticketing Bluestones&#8217; major shows.  With the addition of Israel, Ticketmaster is present in 28 countries  across the world.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;We have seen a considerable demand for live entertainment with the  shows that Live Nation has brought to the market over the last few years  and have been very impressed when working with Guy, Shay and the rest  of the Bluestone team,&#8221; said Alan Ridgeway, President of International  &amp; Emerging Markets. &#8220;Formalizing our partnership and bringing the  Ticketmaster brand and technology to the market was the natural next  step.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;We see a huge potential for international artists in Israel, especially  as the venue infrastructure improves over the coming years,&#8221; said Guy  Beser and Shay Mor Yosef of Bluestone. &#8220;The strength of Live Nation and  Ticketmaster will provide Bluestone with the tools and the platform to  further develop the market for international shows in Israel&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p> Beser and Mor Yosef added, &#8220;Guy Oseary&#8217;s strategic involvement, guidance  and mentorship of our company and the door he has opened for us at Live  Nation has brought us to this exciting partnership we are launching  today. The Israeli fans have proved in the last three years that there  is a real market and demand for live international shows. The  collaboration between Live Nation and Bluestone will firmly establish  Israel as a &#8216;must-play&#8217; market on any world tour.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Source: Live Nation<br \/>Image credit: Public Domain<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. announced that it has acquired a majority interest in leading Israeli&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6427","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6427","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6427"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6427\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6427"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6427"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6427"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
