LIVE Nation, the global entertainment giant that will run the long awaited €80m Cork Event Centre, are on the verge of appointing a design team to the project. In another sign of movement on the project, a company called Cork Venue Enterprises Ltd has been set up by directors of Live Nation. Among the directors of Cork Venue Enterprises Ltd, set up in February, are Mike Adamson, CEO of Live Nation Ireland, and director of Live Nation Ireland Holdings, as well as music promoter Denis Desmond. “Live Nation is finalising internal approval to mobilise a design team,” the spokesperson said. Live Nation was also badly hit by the pandemic, with live concerts and festivals cancelled worldwide, and thousands of staff either furloughed or laid off.
