Tim Leiweke, CEO of the Anschutz
Entertainment Group, has said that
the much reported sale of the live entertainment major is well under way, but told Billboard that talks are taking longer than expected because of the number of
parties interested in bidding for the firm. Last September the Anschutz Company
announced its intent to sell its entertainment business, which owns and
operates a network of venues worldwide, including London's O2 dome, as well as
having extensive interests in sport (especially in the US) and owning AEG Live with tours by Justin Bieber, Taylor
Swift, Bon Jovi and Kenny Chesney already under way alongside festivals such as
Jazzfest, Coachella and StageCoach.
