In this episode of The Music Law Beat, join host Bill Hochberg (Raines) as he sits down with festival promoter and attorney Danny Hayes and top music agent Jarred Arfa to explore the ever-evolving world of music festivals and touring —from the negotiating table to the stage.

 

Danny Hayes is a renowned music industry leader and former top entertainment attorney, known for shaping iconic rock festivals and representing multiplatinum artists throughout his legal career. Jarred Arfa, EVP and Head of Global Music for Independent Artist Group, brings unmatched insight to live music festivals as a top entertainment executive and legal strategist.

 

This all-access conversation hits the business and legal beats that matter: the future of ticket pricing, insurance issues, branding opportunities, and what makes festivals more—or less—attractive to artists. With sharp insights from both promoter and artist rep perspectives, the panel will unpack new risks, data trends, and why the live music experience remains ground zero for fan connection and industry innovation. It's a backstage pass to where music, money and legal strategy collide.
