LiveGigs Music and Events

What LiveGigs Music and Events does

LiveGigs Music and Events is a Netherlands-based full-service event agency headquartered in Schalkhaar (Overijssel), founded in 2004 by Robert Willemsen. The firm began as an entertainment booking office connecting clients with artists and acts, and over more than 20 years expanded into end-to-end event organization covering concept development, venue selection, catering coordination, entertainment booking, styling, photography/videography, and technical production for both corporate and public events. Its service portfolio is segmented across corporate event types (company openings, jubilees, staff parties, dinnershows, congresses, product launches, relationship events) and public event types (concerts, summer festivals, city festivals, festival production), supported by a curated catalog of entertainment acts including bands, DJs, singers, duos, trios, 90s nostalgia acts, opening acts, animation performers, reception acts, activities (VR, silent disco, workshops), and extras (photobooths, 360 videobooths).

The business operates on a professional-services revenue model with two streams: fees for full-service event organization and transaction/intermediation fees for artist and entertainment booking. Pricing is quote-based and non-public, with free non-binding proposals delivered through a sales-led go-to-market motion via phone, email, and website inquiry forms. Distribution is direct, with no resellers or intermediaries, and the company is registered in the Netherlands as a private limited company under KVK number 90856562. The technology stack is light and described as 'not applicable - service company,' with the Bezoekersregistratie tool representing the only notable software-enabled product (event registration, e-tickets, and reporting).

The company is founder-owned with no external investment, no parent company, no subsidiaries, no recorded funding rounds, and no M&A activity. It operates with a small team (approximately 5 employees per firmographic data), serves a fragmented base of Dutch corporate and public-sector clients, and has not been observed expanding beyond the Dutch market. Marketing is conducted through its own website, social channels (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube), and an email newsletter, with case studies as the primary portfolio mechanism.

Product overview

LiveGigs Music and Events is a full-service event agency that began as an entertainment booking office in 2004 and has evolved into comprehensive event management. The core offering combines Event Management (full-service organization from concept to execution) with an Entertainment Booking platform (access to a curated catalog of acts including bands, DJs, singers, duos, trios, 90s nostalgia acts, opening acts, animation performers, reception entertainment, and extras). Supporting sub-products include Bezoekersregistratie (visitor registration and event communication tools), Styling, Techniek en Catering (technical and catering coordination), Foto- en Videografie, and Locatie (venue advisory services). The portfolio also encompasses Activiteiten (activity entertainment like VR, silent disco, workshops) and Extra's (photobooths, 360 videobooths, green screens, casino/Hollywood decor).

Broad incumbents

• Mojo Concerts: Major Dutch concert and festival promoter operating at national scale with extensive artist relationships. Larger and broader than LiveGigs but competes for entertainment programming and live-event talent in the same Dutch market.
• ID&T: Established Dutch event and festival organiser with international reach, covering dance events and large-scale productions. Far larger than LiveGigs but operates in the same Dutch live-event space with overlapping entertainment talent and production services.

Others

• Cvent: Global enterprise event management software platform serving corporate event teams. Relevant comparable as LiveGigs expands its registration and event-management tooling, though Cvent targets in-house corporate buyers rather than agencies.
• Eventbrite: Global event ticketing and registration platform that intersects with LiveGigs' Bezoekersregistratie offering. Not a direct competitor on full-service production, but adjacent in the event-software layer LiveGigs is beginning to add.
• PRG (Production Resource Group): Global provider of event production services including lighting, sound, video, and staging. Comparable as a supply-side counterpart to LiveGigs' Techniek en Catering coordination service for live events.

• D&B Eventmarketing: Large Dutch full-service event agency offering corporate event organisation, entertainment booking, and production. Directly comparable to LiveGigs in scope, customer segment, and delivery model within the Netherlands.
