Since launching in 2022, various high-profile music and entertainment acts have performed at LIV events. LIV has continually attempted to differentiate itself from golf’s other established tours by hosting concerts and other music acts around its tournaments.

Concerts West will now take over talent booking, artist management, show and venue planning, creative development, and technical production for those events.

The next LIV Golf tournament will take place in early April in Miami, Florida. Hip-hop icon Akon will perform there.

Greg Norman, the colorful commissioner and chief executive at LIV Golf, said: “Global leaders in sports, entertainment, and technology are embracing LIV Golf and recognizing how our game-changing league is connecting the sport with new audiences.”
