Founded in 2001, SD Concerts is behind many of the region’s most prominent live events, promoting Latin and international talent across the Dominican Republic, as well as supporting shows in Aruba, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Panama, and Puerto Rico.
Saymon Diaz, Founder & CEO of SD Concerts, will continue to lead the business.
SD Concerts also operates a ticketing platform, which currently services all SD events and provides a foundation for future ticketing expansion in the region.
Live Nation said on Thursday (May 29) that the concert industry is seeing continued momentum across Latin America, with the company seeing fan attendance in the region up over 25% in the first quarter of 2025.
The company added that “growing demand for live experiences is supported by the global rise of non-English language artists”, who, according to Live Nation, now represent twice as many of its top 50 tours compared to 2019.
Elsewhere in the world, Live Nation recently acquired Hayashi International Promotions (HIP), a Japan-focused live music promoter of both domestic and international artists.
