Tom Windish's LinkedIn lists Lorde, Diplo, alt-J, and Tove Lo. The Paradigm website has him listed as representing M83, Billie Eilish, and the xx, possibly among others, but I haven't combed through everything.
Sam Hunt is mentioned as being close with some of the major offenders (a man who broke a receptionist's nose and a hostile CFO, not sure their names). He represents Jamie xx, the xx, RTJ, JPEG, Dirty Projectors, Deerhunter, El-P, Diplo, Washed Out, Girl Talk, also according to the Paradigm website.
Desert Daze and Roo follow Windish on IG (as far as accounts I follow). Hunt is followed by Desert Daze, but has made his account private since these stories were made public.
Who chooses the music that plays before a show, the venue , the sound guy, the band?
Usually the venue but sometimes the band if they’re picky. I give the front of house a usb with music.
One time we had a sound engineer playing radio hits before Nicolás Jaar and he was pissed, so I ran to the FOH and plugged in my phone to play The Revenant score (first thing I thought of).
Wasn’t sure where to post this, but this thread seemed right, in case it interests anyone. Ohio University is hosting a free online music industry summit today:
Interviews with RTJ, St. Vincent, Phoebe Bridgers, and Finneas. Also a number of professional development/general interest topics on audio engineering, the state of live music, and more. A couple live performances too by Kelly Lee Owens and Haley Heynderickx. I was planning to put certain segments on in the background while I worked today.
This is kind of interesting and almost certainly wrong. Beato used one chord progression from Babe I'm Gonna Leave You as part of a video demonstrating music theory and complexity in chord progressions and got copyright-claimed by Warner.
This is how you know Insomniac has so much money. They just cancelled a 10,000 person festival in LA and literally agreed to pay for people’s non refundable accommodations and flights. And they’re also giving every attendee a token to attend any insomniac festival in 2021 for free including III Points wtf

Kinda seems like the live music sector is heading for a major collapse.
What makes you say that? Been out of the concert scene aside from a couple local shows here and there, but it seems more artists are now too big for arenas and are playing stadiums (The Weeknd, Luke Combs, Bad Bunny).

Curious as to what brought this thought on...
many artists cancelling tours due to rising costs and inflation, as well as mental/physical health reasons, including Animal Collective, Santigold, Arlo Parks, Little Simz, Low, Two Door Cinema Club etc. not to mention artists saying they barely break even on tours now. the collapse is coming for smaller and midsize acts i’d say.

Basically this. Non stadium venues can't sustain themselves with only the big tours. I'm trying to remember where I read it but a few months ago I saw something that mentioned that the bigger tours are doing better than they ever have but other tours are really struggling. This isn't sustainable for anyone involved. Artists, venues, booking agents, etc.
