This week's special guest Roger Field is definitely no stranger when it comes to the Major Concert landscape. His expertise has and still covers all gamuts of the touring industry- ticketing, venue management, festival production and major concert promotion of course.
He served as CEO of Live Nation Australia from 2014 to 2020 before was tasked with the premium role of President for Live Nation Asia Pacific. This speaks for itself.
In 2024 however, and arguably at his prime, Roger did an an about-turn that no one saw coming and resigned from the Company.
Today he runs his own business, the aptly titled 'Further Afield', which is a business designed to assist and help new enterprises that need sound advice in helping to navigate through the many layers and nuances of the Entertainment Industry.
So why the change? Why leave the perceived comfort of working with the likes of Harry Styles, Pink, Adele and Bruno Mars amongst many, many others to go out alone?
Is there more to his story or is it simply a case of personal re-invention in an ever-changing industry climate. Lets hear what Roger has to say and let me tell you, there are no mincing of words.
