Superstruct Enters into a Partnership with International Concert Service

WACKEN / LONDON – AUGUST 17th 2019: Superstruct Entertainment (Superstruct) has entered into a partnership and investment agreement with International Concert Service GmbH (ICS), a preeminent German full service producer and promoter of live entertainment events. The agreement remains subject to approval from competition authorities. 

ICS’s flagship event is Wacken Open Air (W:O:A), the world-famous heavy metal music festival held every summer over three days in Wacken (Germany). For many years, it attracts over 70,000 heavy metal fans from all over the world to experience around 200 international bands performing across nine stages. Besides W:O:A, ICS also produces and promotes ancillary events such as the Hamburg Metal Dayz, the Wacken Winter Nights, and the Werner Race - an exciting, multi-day event that successfully combines motorsport and live music.

Holger Hübner and Thomas Jensen (founders and co-CEOs of ICS) are delighted with the partnership and declared: “Joining the Superstruct network is terrific news for our team and our fans. We will continue providing world-class experiences through our portfolio of live events and now we are able to additionally benefit from a partner with a global network and experience. This will help us grow further and make what we do even better. We very much look forward to working with the Superstruct team to continue pushing the envelope. Our goal is always to inspire and enthuse heavy metal fans around the world and to make people happy with our live activities".

James Barton, CEO of Superstruct, said: “We are very excited to join forces with ICS, the global leaders in metal. Led by Holger and Thomas, and supported by an experienced team overseeing a portfolio of quality events, we are confident that together we can continue to expand ICS and take the company and its events to the next level.”

ICS founders Holger Hübner and Thomas Jensen, as well as the rest of the current leadership team, will remain responsible for the day-to-day management of the business after the transaction closes.
