STG Takes On The World

Pollstar is the only trade publication covering the worldwide concert industry, and their midyear numbers are out. We're super excited - not only about the ranking of our beloved theatres, The Paramount and Moore, but also because Seattle Theatre Group made the top promoter list as well!!

Via Pollstar, based off of the 2010 Mid-Year WORLDWIDE Ticket Sales:

Top 100 THEATRE Venues
#12 is Paramount Theatre
#44 is Moore Theatre

Top 100 Promoters
#43 is Seattle Theatre Group

Not bad for the little non-profit that could, right?

Ryuichi Sakamoto Coming Soon!

The solo artist and composer Ryuichi Sakamoto rarely tours but will be doing so this fall on a small 10 date jaunt across the United States. The tour is in support of the upcoming release of his two LPs playing the piano and out of noise, both out on 9/28.



Read a little bit more about the tour and the new LPs on Brooklyn Vegan now.

Ryuichi Sakamoto performs at STG's Moore Theatre on October 30th. Tickets are on sale now.
