The music festival production and promotion company behind the Louder than Life and Bourbon and Beyond festivals is announcing a new venture that includes a partnership with the City of Elizabethtown.
Danny Wimmer Presents announced in a Facebook post Wednesday the launch of DWP Concerts, which the post states was built “to take our festival expertise beyond the grounds and into year-round live experiences.” The concerts division will focus on booking, promotion, venue development, and strategy. The company also announced the hiring of Louisville-based talent buyer Billy Hardison “to oversee talent strategy across all DWP Concert venues.”
The post also states that the new concerts division has officially partnered with the City of Elizabethtown “to consult on and book a brand new 10,000-capacity amphitheater – set to become the largest concert venue in central Kentucky,” stating more details would be coming soon.
Elizabethtown Tourism Executive Director Jana Clark said: “We are incredibly excited about our partnership with Danny Wimmer Presents for the new outdoor venue in Elizabethtown. Their expertise and knowledge of the live entertainment industry will be an asset to the venue’s long-term success.”
At a special meeting on April 3, the Elizabethtown City Council approved a municipal order approving an agreement with the Elizabethtown Tourism and Convention Bureau for operations of the outdoor music venue, which is currently under construction near Buffalo Lake.
