Back in 2015, Live Nation & TERO collaborated to create Live Nation Tero – a project that promotes international concerts and festivals by Western acts and brings regional talent to Thailand too.
Through this new acquisition of`TERO C&E, Live Nation says that Live Nation Tero establishes itself as a “holistic business that will cover a vast international and domestic music roster as well as family entertainment”.

TERO C&E has it all – local expertise delivering outstanding experiences to fans, and career growth for international and local artists. Our deepened partnership with TERO will expand our presence not only in Thailand but across the region, and we are looking forward to bringing an ever-growing and incredible roster of domestic and international talent to fans, connecting them with the magic of live.
