UTA'S FESTIVE SEASON

Team UTA is geeked for a heavy festival season as its wide-ranging music clients take the stage at all manner of confabs.

Halsey just headlined New York’s Governors Ball, which also featured UTA clients like Lil Wayne, Denzel Curry, YG, COIN and Channel Tres. At San Francisco’s Outside Lands (8/5-7), the agency has headliner Post Malone, who just dropped album Twelve Carat Toothache (Mercury/Republic), as well as hometown artist ILLENIUM, Dominic Fike, Brazilian breakout Anitta, Parcels and Polo & Pan. Bonnaroo (6/16-19) boasts 27 of the agency’s acts, including Machine Gun Kelly, 21 Savage, LANY, Marc Rebillet and Tierra Whack.

Then there are Summerfest (6/23-25, 6/30-7/2, 7/7-9), Rolling Loud (9/23-25) and Lollapalooza (7/28-31), which has 33 confirmed UTA acts, among them The Kid LAROI, Banks and CloZee, not to mention up-and-comers Pom Pom Squad and Daisy the Great.

On the EDM front, UTA had 64 acts in the EDC Las Vegas lineup, including the debut performance of dance-world supergroup Kx5 (Kaskade & Deadmau5’s joint project). 35 United Talent artists appeared at Forbidden Kingdom last month.

Nashville’s CMA Festival welcomed 30 UTA acts, spanning Jimmie Allen, Easton Corbin, Blanco Brown and Brittney Spencer. Action Bronson, Jimmy Eat World, Mothica, YUNGBLUD and more are confirmed for Riot Fest (9/16-18), and The Chemical Brothers will be headlining San Francisco’s new Portola (9/24-25).

To round out festival season, UTA has 16 clients—Paramore, Lil Nas X, James Blake, Spoon, GAYLE and L’Imperatrice, to name a few—at Austin City Limits (10/7-9, 10/14-16).

As you can see, we weren’t kidding about the schedule. And if you find yourself at one of this year's big festivals, be sure to ask David Zedeck to lend you a glowstick.
