This Summer, at one of the largest annual corporate events held in America, Empire had the privilege to book, contract & manage several elements of entertainment & content for one of the world's largest global corporations. These included a spectacular opening meeting sequence staged by director Andy Bew and featuring aerialist/acrobatic troupe Antigravity with Classical Crossover superstars, Bond, Olympic gold medalist and the fastest human alive, Michael Johnson, DJ / Model Sky Nellor, House Band The Rupert's Orchestra and host / emcee Rodney Sherwood among others.But the entertainment highlight of the multi-day conference was an outdoor concert by Australian hard rock group, Jet. This band, led by brothers Nic & Chris Cester, are best known for their U. S. breakout hit "Are you Gonna Be My Girl" which was featured in the original Apple iPod commercials and was the first season theme song for HBO's series, "Entourage."

Empire was able to negotiate a deal with Jet that allowed them to fly from Los Angeles, where they were in the studio recording at the time, to Atlanta to perform for a young business audience, thousands strong, from around the globe.The band performed in an outdoor amphitheater at the Six Flags amusement Park. Although it was a hot Atlanta night where the temperature reached into the 90's, the heat didn't begin until the band tore into their high energy set which was a combination of AC/DC, the Rolling Stones and the Ramones.The band delivered a powerful performance that included their hits "Are you Gonna Be My Girl," "Get What You Need" and "Cold Heart Bitch" and also a first time-ever live performance of a new song from their forthcoming album. At one point during the show, One of the band members climbed atop the speaker stacks Johnny Ramones-style to play a blistering guitar solo. The audience went wild.The band blew away the audience who responded with cheers long after the band had left the stage for their ovenight flight on a chartered Jet, back to the studio on LA for the following day.

Empire is the leader in securing contemporary musical talent for business meetings and events.
