The operator of Aberdeen's P&J Live arena has been acquired by a global entertainment group which works with some of the world's biggest brands.
Legends has announced the acquisition of ASM Global to create a premium live events company "dedicated to providing outstanding experiences for fans around the world."
Legends provides venue planning and project management, premium sales, sponsorship, hospitality, and merchandise services to many of the world’s most iconic sports, entertainment, and attractions brands, including Real Madrid, SoFi Stadium, One World Observatory, Dallas Cowboys, FC Barcelona, University of Notre Dame, New York Yankees, and Ryder Cup, as well as leagues and properties such as the NFL, MLB, NASCAR, PGA of America, and FIFA World Cup.
Sixth Street, a leading global investment firm with over $74billion in assets under management, is the majority investor in Legends in partnership with YGE Holdings, LLC, an affiliate of the New York Yankees, and the Jerry Jones family, owners of the Dallas Cowboys.
