Collectiv Presents

What Collectiv Presents does

Collectiv Presents LLC is a privately held, California-incorporated live concert and festival promoter operating across North America. The company produces concerts, aftershows and large-scale music festivals at partner venues, with stated geographic coverage spanning Chicago IL, Houston TX, Dallas TX, Atlanta GA, Milwaukee WI, Detroit MI, Grand Rapids MI, Rosarito MX and Mexico City MX. Its wholly-owned subsidiary stack — At The Drive Inn LLC, Collectiv MX LLC, Collectiv PBB LLC, NCMF LLC and TNG Holdings LLC — supports both US and Mexican operations. Headcount is reported in the 1-10 band and the company is founder-controlled with no disclosed institutional capital.

The core product is event production and promotion, anchored by a portfolio of nine owned festival brands including North Coast Music Festival (Chicago, since 2010, now at SeatGeek Stadium), Suwannee Hulaween, Baja Beach Fest, Sueños Festival, Coca-Cola Flow Fest, Papas Beach Bash, The Miracle in Mundelein, Paranormal Underground, and Radiance NYE. Beyond festivals, the company books and co-promotes shows at 17+ venues ranging from the 300-capacity Garcia's Chicago (opened March 2025 under a Jerry Garcia Family license) to large Live Nation-affiliated rooms such as Tabernacle, Buckhead Theatre and Navy Pier. Strategic partnerships with Peter Shapiro / Dayglo Presents, Michael Berg / Deep Cut, C3 Presents (for Lollapalooza aftershows) and Live Nation supply artist relationships and venue access that a small in-house team could not otherwise generate.

Revenue is generated across four streams: transaction fees from ticket sales routed through Ticketmaster, Tixr, Eventim and Dice; festival production economics including ticket, sponsorship and onsite revenue from owned brands; subscription-style recurring access to live stream content; and professional-services-style co-promotion fees from venue partnerships. Marketing is primarily event-driven: a Sanity-hosted website with show and festival listings, an email newsletter for presale access, and organic social presence on Instagram, Facebook and X. The company has no app, no public API and no documented AI/ML capabilities, making distribution and brand/IP the primary operating assets.

Direct peers

• Another Planet Entertainment: Bay Area-based independent concert and festival promoter (Outside Lands, Life is Beautiful). Comparable independent promoter with owned festival IP and multi-venue programming similar to Collectiv's model.
• Dayglo Presents: Peter Shapiro-led promoter operating Brooklyn Bowl, The Capitol Theatre, and Bearsville Theater. Strategic partner at Garcia's Chicago and directly comparable as a venue-operator/promoter hybrid with jam-band and rock programming overlap.
• C3 Presents: Festival and concert promoter behind Austin City Limits Music Festival and Lollapalooza. Strategic partner with Collectiv for Lollapalooza aftershows but also a direct competitor for artist bookings and festival production talent.
• Goldenvoice: Promoter behind Coachella and Stagecoach festivals and a portfolio of California venues. Comparable to Collectiv in multi-genre festival ownership and West Coast/Mexico touring reach.
• Insomniac Events: Promoter of electronic music festivals including Electric Daisy Carnival, Nocturnal Wonderland, and Countdown. Directly comparable on electronic-music programming (Paranormal Underground, Radiance NYE) and on festival operational model.
• AEG Presents: Major concert and festival promoter operating across North America, including festivals such as Coachella (via Goldenvoice). Competes head-to-head with Collectiv for artists, venues, and ticket buyers in Chicago, Atlanta, and other shared markets.

Others

• Eventim: European-headquartered ticketing and live entertainment platform. Ticketing partner for Collectiv's Sound-Bar and District shows and adjacent competitor through CTS Eventim's expanding North American promoter footprint.

Broad incumbents

• Live Nation Entertainment: Largest global live entertainment company and ticketing platform. Direct venue partner and competitor to Collectiv Presents via its venue portfolio (Tabernacle, Buckhead Theatre, Coca-Cola Roxy) and owned promoter teams operating in the same cities and genres.

Emerging players
