Dave has been with LS Events (previously Loud Sound) since its founding year in 2004 and has over 30 years of live events experience. Dave’s career began tour managing bands before becoming an agent, which in turn led to a number of years at Cream, initially running their DJ Agency, before becoming General Manager. This paved the way to running festivals with the first Creamfields in 1998 and the start of a career in major events! Since then, Dave has been the long-standing Operations Director for a number of high profile events in the UK, including Bestival, Camp Bestival, Common People, Rockness and CBBC Summer Social. Most recently, Dave has been Operations Director at Mighty Hoopla and Lambeth Country Show, and Venue Operations Director at BST Hyde Park.
