“This is a hugely significant and strategically important acquisition for SFX. With ID&T, SFX has an immediate global footprint in more than 20 markets worldwide. ID&T productions are known for being of the highest quality and for producing maximum entertainment for their fans. Their exceptional team has developed amazing Dance music brands with tremendous global reach.” – Robert Sillerman, SFX Entertainment

“We welcome becoming part of the SFX family, where we will be at the heart of the most important platform in the space. Having watched the dance music scene grow over the last 20 years, we are excited that it’s now becoming a truly global phenomenon.

With this extended deal, we hope to take the ID&T brands we have launched to new global heights.” – Duncan Stutterheim, CEO of ID&T
