Hi everyone!
I’m really excited to share the latest episode of The Talk Music Podcast featuring one of the top concert promoters in the world — Nick Farkas.
Nick is the Senior VP of Booking, Concerts & Events at Montreal-based Evenko, where he oversees an incredible 1,600+ shows a year — from intimate club gigs and major sporting events to large-scale concerts and seven flagship festivals, including the iconic OSHEAGA. Widely considered one of North America’s premier festivals, the 18th edition of OSHEAGA is happening August 1–3 with an absolutely stacked lineup: The Killers, Tyler, The Creator, Olivia Rodrigo, Glass Animals, DOECHII, Gracie Abrams, The Chainsmokers, Cage the Elephant, and many more. There’s also a standout Canadian lineup this year, including The Beaches, bbno$, EKKSTACY, Aqyila, Rau_Ze, Hologramme, and Ruby Waters, to name a few. It’s truly a must-see event — a full-on celebration of music in every way.
In this episode, Nick and I dive into his journey through the music industry — from his early days with Donald K. Donald, founding the Greenland booking agency (which brought in major international acts), and the evolution of Evenko into a powerhouse that’s respected by artists, labels, and managers around the globe.
Enjoy this behind-the-scenes look into the world of booking and live music!
