TS3

What TS3 does

TS3 (legal entity: RIVAJ PRODUCTION) is a Paris-headquartered live entertainment production company founded in 1989 by producer Thierry Suc, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of RIVAJ GROUP since 2015. The company produces concert tours, theatrical spectacles, musicals, and one-man shows for major French artists spanning music (Mylène Farmer, Calogero, Zazie, Yannick Noah, Michel Sardou, Etienne Daho, MC Solaar, Eddy Mitchell, Renaud), comedy (Florence Foresti, Muriel Robin, Baptiste Lecaplain, Valérie Lemercier, Laurent Gerra, Eric Antoine, Pascal Legitimus, Charlotte de Turckheim, Kyan Khojandi), and theatrical productions including the Jean Paul Gaultier Fashion Freak Show and the international touring musical adaptation of Priscilla folle du désert.

The company's underlying technology base is a live entertainment production and event management platform with no proprietary tech features disclosed in available sources; operational capabilities rely on the production team's 35 years of touring expertise, structured relationships with French venues, and integration into RIVAJ GROUP's broader infrastructure.

TS3 makes money through professional services revenue from tour production and artist management fees, supplemented by revenue streams at the parent level from venue operations (RIVAJ GROUP manages approximately 100 venues across France including 7 owned Parisian theaters such as Salle Pleyel, Théâtre Marigny, and Théâtre de la Porte-Saint-Martin, plus regional venues like Antarès Le Mans, Le Millesium Epernay, and Carré des Docks Le Havre), ticketing platforms (tickets.rivajgroup.com), and B2B services including sponsorship, event planning, group/CE booking, and hospitality. The company serves French and French-speaking (Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg) audiences with an end-customer base of live entertainment consumers, while its direct customers are the artists managed under touring arrangements within the RIVAJ ecosystem of more than 200 artists and projects.
