Rivaj Group

What Rivaj Group does

Rivaj Group is a privately held French live entertainment holding company headquartered at 10 place du Général Catroux, Paris 75017, operating through legal entity RIVAJ PRODUCTION SASU (RCS Paris 812 106 474). Formerly known as Fimalac Entertainment, the group rebranded in 2025 and consolidates seven production labels — Rivaj Production, Gilbert Coullier Productions, TS3 Productions (Thierry Suc), Auguri Productions (Charles Bensmaine), Nonstop Productions (Antonutti & Lartigue), Encore Productions (Pascal Bernardin), K-Wet Production, and Arts Live Entertainment (Richard Caillat) — that have been progressively acquired or integrated since 2014. The group serves more than 200 artists and projects and operates approximately 100 venues and pieces of equipment across France, including seven historic Parisian theaters (Salle Pleyel, Théâtre Marigny, Théâtre de La Madeleine, Théâtre de la Porte-Saint-Martin, Théâtre de Paris/Salle Réjane, Théâtre des Bouffes Parisiens, Théâtre de la Michodière) and three regional venues (Antarès Le Mans, Le Millesium Épernay, Le Carré des Docks Le Havre).

The underlying technology is a digital platform for ticketing, artist booking, and event management with social media integration, delivered through the rivajgroup.com corporate site, tickets.rivajgroup.com ticketing storefront, and producer-specific booking portals. The group generates revenue across six streams: transaction-fee ticket sales through the billetterie platform; professional services for commercial management and ticketing pilot operations; marketing and communication services for artists; advertising and sponsorship partnerships connecting brands with artists and venues; hospitality services for events and corporate functions; and custom event design and production for corporate clients. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and operates on a quote-based model for professional services, group bookings, and corporate partnerships. Distribution is hybrid: direct venue operations, a network of seven production labels with independent rosters, proprietary online ticketing, and a professional access portal for corporate clients seeking sponsoring, événementiel, and groupes/collectivités offerings. The company is privately held with no parent entity and no disclosed funding rounds; its ownership structure includes minority financial partners Jacques-Antoine Granjon (Vente-Privée), Marc Simoncini (Meetic), and Xavier Niel (Free) at the Arts Live Entertainment subsidiary level.

Regional players

• Accor Arena: Major Parisian arena (formerly Bercy) hosting large-scale concerts and sporting events. Comparable as a major French live entertainment venue competing for headline arena tours that Rivaj producers book.

Direct peers

• Olympia: Iconic Parisian concert venue (1893) with active concert programming and a historic music hall position. Directly comparable as a French heritage live entertainment venue and concert promoter competing for the same artist tours and Parisian audience.
• Gérard Drouot Productions: Historic French concert and tour promoter with a similar mandate of producing major French and international tours in French venues. Closely comparable business model as a French live entertainment promoter with overlapping artist rosters.
• Fnac Spectacles: Major French ticketing and live entertainment distribution platform. Comparable as a ticketing and event distribution channel for French concerts, theater, and live events, with overlapping customer base.
• Lagardère Live Entertainment: French live entertainment arm of Lagardère group, operating venues and concert promotion. Comparable as a domestic competitor combining venue management and concert production across France.
• Bataclan: Historic Parisian concert venue with active concert and event programming. Directly comparable as a French heritage concert hall competing for similar touring artists and event bookings.

Broad incumbents

• Live Nation Entertainment: The world's largest live entertainment company, operating venues, festivals, and ticketing (Ticketmaster). Comparable as a broad incumbent in concert promotion and venue operations, though at vastly larger scale and global footprint versus Rivaj's France-centric platform.
• AEG Presents: Anschutz Entertainment Group's live entertainment division, operating major venues (including Staples Center/The O2). Comparable as a broad incumbent combining artist promotion, venue ownership, and ticketing at global scale.
