Live Nation Entertainment has appointed Jo Dipple as Senior Vice President, Public Affairs – a role spanning both Live Nation and Ticketmaster internationally.
Dipple was previously Chief Executive of UK Music for five years.
In her time as CEO, Dipple led a successful judicial review against the UK Government which blocked damaging legislation that would have disadvantaged artists and rights-holders.

Dipple came to UK Music from 10 Downing Street where she acted as strategic advisor to the then-British Prime Minister.
She was a special adviser at the Treasury and worked on two winning general election campaigns.
“Jo has remarkable credentials in the music industry, with an unrivalled level of expertise in her field.”
