Episode 130: From House Parties to Federal Court: Tommy D's Battle with Live Nation
On Everything & Anything… and a Bit Gay, host Zach Randles-Friedman sits down with Tommy D, a legendary NYC/NJ nightlife promoter who shaped the house-music-to-EDM era by producing unforgettable club events and packed venues. Tommy shares his journey from underground house parties to working with celebrities and creating a thriving club empire in the EDM scene.
The conversation takes a dramatic turn as Tommy reveals how a massive EDM festival at the Meadowlands and a long-term deal were allegedly undermined, leading to a 15-year legal battle against the monopoly power of Live Nation and Ticketmaster. This episode dives deeply into nightlife history, the impact of ticket prices, the challenges of artist development, and what the future holds for promoters and fans alike.
Join us for an insightful exploration of the EDM world and the ongoing fight behind the scenes that shapes the music industry and live event landscape.
