Seamless travel for multi-dates and venues

Our music and entertainment division provides touring groups with all their travel and accommodation needs, ensuring world class artists are able to perform when it matters most. We are used to working on some of the world’s most spectacular and demanding events, so we understand the challenges they bring for tour and event managers. Our experience managing travel plans for artists, bands and crew matches the high standards of service and attention to detail that we have given to elite sports teams for decades, from Formula One to Olympic athletes.

We are leaders in the music and entertainment sector and know what it takes for artists to perform. We understand the flexibility and organisation that’s needed in managing a music tour – from last-minute cancellations to bespoke hotel requests.

From major festival appearances to more intimate style events, we are able to plan and manage seamless multi-date, multi-venue schedules for high-profile individuals and their supporting teams, including sustainable travel choices that minimise the impact of a tour on the environment.
