TSE Entertainment launches Concert and Tour Promotion Services to its list of services provided to venues, talent buyers, entertainers and concert promoters. While TSE has been offering turn-key local production for concerts, the new services now mean that TSE Entertainment now offers services that run the spectrum from initial booking (venue or entertainers) to load out oversight.

We now handle the booking, promotion and production process from beginning to end for clients who need those services. We do as little or as much as our client needs whether that client is a venue, band manager, talent buyer, self-promoter or anyone else involved in putting on a concert or tour.

One example of these new services is the planning and implementation of the 2020 tour of the AC/DC Story, a biographical musical stage show rockumentary featuring Australia’s ACCA DACCA. This effort will be joined by other concerts, concert series, and tours. Stay tuned.
