Live entertainment group Superstruct has announced the appointment of former AEG veteran Jacqui Harris as MD of Superstruct Entertainment UK.
Harris joins the festival giant following almost two decades at AEG Presents UK, where she most recently served as VP and GM for the UK touring division.
At AEG, her work spanned major outdoor festivals including London's All Points East and BST Hyde Park, and Eden Sessions in Cornwall. She also led the team delivering UK touring operations across stadium, arena and greenfield events.
"We are thrilled to welcome Jacqui to the Superstruct team,” said Superstruct CEO Alex Mahon. “She is a powerhouse in the live entertainment industry, with a proven track record of scaling world-class festivals and tours. She understands the cultural magic of live music and the importance of creative independence – her expertise will be invaluable as we continue to grow Superstruct."
I look forward to collaborating with the brilliant festivals in the collective and working with the talented team to build on their successes to date
