THE VAN EGMOND GROUP HAS PRESENTED AND PRODUCED SOME OF AUSTRALASIA’S LARGEST ENTERTAINMENT EVENTS. SPECIALISING IN CONCERTS, THEATRE, MERCHANDISING AND SPECIAL EVENTS, IT HAS ESTABLISHED ITSELF AS A LEADER IN ENTERTAINMENT WORLDWIDE.

For over a decade the Van Egmond Group has been positioning itself to develop territories outside of its traditional markets of Australia and New Zealand, including productions in Hong Kong, Singapore, China, Japan, Malaysia, Taiwan and Korea.

The Van Egmond Group, and its managing director, Garry Van Egmond are synonymous with successful, quality promotion and production in the Australasian market place.

Over the past 35 years, Garry has been a leader in touring, production of theatrical events, event merchandising, marketing and promotion. His reputation for attracting high yielding events to the Australasian market place is second to none with productions in Australia, New Zealand, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Korea, Taiwan & Japan.

Through Garry's long and highly regarded presence in the industry he has gathered an impressive list of contacts with performers, major managers and contractors throughout the entertainment, performing arts and sporting industries.

These along with the other promotions are a testament to his company's ability to meticulously plan and execute all aspects of successful promotion from marketing through to logistics.

In a career of "sold out" business, highlights include Dire Straits "Brothers In Arms" tour, which saw 250,000 seats, sold in Sydney alone and ticket sales of approximately 1 in 15 to the entire Australian population (this achievement is listed in the Guinness Book of Records), the tour of Bette Midler, which sold out 72 performances and in 2010 AC/DC’s Black Ice Tour which became the fastest selling concert in Australian history selling over 520,000 tickets in under three hours (the concert went on to sell over 750,000 tickets in Australia & New Zealand).
