We pride ourselves on our reputation as an artist-first company. We do everything in our power to realise the artists’ vision for their live show and promotional campaign, catering directly to their audience. It’s important to us that artists and their teams are looked after and have the best possible experience while they’re away from home. As a guest of ours, tour parties are looked after from the moment they touch down to the time we wave goodbye.

MG Live is determined to be an ethical event organiser and promoter. Whether it be related to ticket pricing or our environmental sustainability, we are constantly considering audience wellbeing and our impact on the community as a whole. We are resolute about creating safe spaces at our events for people of all sexualities, races, genders and identities. We have a zero-tolerance policy towards discrimination, sexual harassment and inappropriate behaviour.

The core team behind MG Live have been promoting and producing live events since the turn of the century, and the wider Mushroom Group live division has been touring the world’s biggest artists since the 1979. Some of the thousands of artists who have performed at MG Live events include diverse names like Elton John, Drake, Robbie Williams, Khalid, Honey Dijon, Fleetwood Mac, The Chemical Brothers and Kylie Minogue to name just a few.

Since a young Michael Gudinski first launched the Mushroom Group in 1972, the collective has grown to include over a dozen companies with 300+ staff located across the globe. More than five decades later, MG Live and the entire Mushroom Group are both now helmed by Michael’s son Matt Gudinski who is dedicated to maintaining the same family atmosphere and culture. MG Live isn’t corporately owned, which means we can be less corporate in our approach but just as professional. It means artists don’t feel like they are just a number, and the artist gets the optics of touring with a music-first company.

Whether it be promoting stadium tours or exclusive underground club shows, we deliver the same amount of care and energy to every project. Our team is tight, passionate, and driven to produce the best possible results for every artist. We aim to foster long-term relationships, building the artist’s profile in the local market, with the idea of continuing as a long-term partner as artists’ careers develop.

At the heart of everything we do lies integrity. Our reputation as a reputable company is based on three core values - transparency, accuracy, and accountability. We take great pride in our unwavering commitment to honesty, trust, and transparency. We believe in being true to ourselves and taking responsibility for our mistakes.
