Founded as Lound Sound in 2004 by Jim King , and still owned by the now CEO of European festivals at AEG Presents , the company has come an awfully long way in the last two decades , with its 2021 rebrand to LS Events reflecting an expanded events portfolio that stretches well beyond live music .
LS Events has managed more than 200 major events over the years . In recent months alone it has undertaken huge operation management projects including the Formula E season finale at ExCeL London , nine shows over three weekends at American Express presents BST Hyde Park , the six show days of the All Points East festival , and the four-day Champions League Festival that involved major activations at seven central London sites .
The multi-service agency has built a reputation for being able to handle short-to-no-notice events with seamless results , largely on the back of it successfully overseeing the event management plan and operational delivery of Operation London Bridge at the drop of a hat . More recent swiftly delivered events include London ’ s largest screening of the UEFA Euro 2024 final , at The O2 arena .
