Accomplished talent buyers and entertainment executives Jenn Yacoubian and Stacy Vee have been appointed executive vps at Goldenvoice, the AEG Presents-owned concert and festival promoter behind marquee events like Coachella, Stagecoach, Just Like Heaven and more.
Vee and Yacoubian will oversee the booking department, headquartered at Goldenvoice’s offices in Los Angeles, while continuing to act as talent buyers for their respective festivals and venues, reporting to Goldenvoice president Paul Tollett.
“Goldenvoice is a company that has endlessly supported my creativity and career growth,” said Yacoubian in a statement. “I am beyond honored, and excited, to be in a position of leadership, where I now get the opportunity to support and nurture the next generation of rising stars at GV.”
“It is a privilege to play such an important part in the ongoing growth, creative strategy and success at Goldenvoice,” said Vee in a statement, adding, “I am inspired by the people and culture around me every day and look forward to continuing to push boundaries in a leadership role at this company.”
Vee started at Goldenvoice in 2002 and currently books and produces the Stagecoach and Just Like Heaven festivals while helping oversee booking strategy across many of the company’s festivals in AEG Presents’ global portfolio. While under Vee’s direction, Stagecoach has been recognized by both the Academy of Country Music and International Entertainment Buyers Association (IEBA) and was listed as the third-highest-grossing festival in the world in Forbes. Vee is a three-time Pollstar and two-time IEBA talent buyer of the year award winner. She currently sits on the board of the Country Music Association and is regularly included on Billboard’s Country Power Players and Women in Music lists.
Yacoubian joined Goldenvoice in 2009 and is currently a national touring talent buyer and primary talent buyer for the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles as well as the Splash House festival. She is also one of the core members of the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival booking team and producer and booker for the Los Angeles festival Cruel World. In her new role, Yacoubian will also book one-off shows in the greater Los Angeles area. She has been featured on Billboard’s 40 Under 40 and Women in Music lists.
“Stacy and Jenn play a large part in the culture of Goldenvoice,” Tollett said in a statement. “They have built extraordinary careers here and I couldn’t be happier to elevate them both to Executive Vice President.”
