MAMA & Company Acquire 100% Ownership of Lovebox Festival

23 January 2013

Wednesday 23rd January 2013; MAMA & Company are pleased to report they have completed a deal for sole ownership of London’s Lovebox festival. Founded by DJs Andy Cato and Tom Findlay of Groove Armada in 2002 and named after the outfit’s fourth album, the event has grown from a club night to become an award-winning, three-day event held in Victoria Park, and a major date in the festival calendar. With its roots in dance music, Lovebox has developed over the last 10 years to encompass an array of genres including hip hop, indie, rock and pop. It is renowned for its creative-led, multi-dimensional features, making it unique amongst London festivals.

MAMA has been working with the DJ duo since 2007, and the acquisition follows news of the company’s management buyout and partnership with LDC in December 2012.

Dean James CEO of MAMA & Company says; “We have enjoyed working with Tom and Andy over the years, but the reality is that we have been running this festival since 2009. Two of the original founders, Tim Harvey and Jools Butterfield are still very much part of the fabric of the event and working with Rob Silver, Rich McGinnis and Dave McCalmont, the future of the show is in good hands.

“Lovebox is London's best and most creative festival and we look forward to putting on a great party in Victoria Park this Summer on what will be Lovebox's 10th anniversary."

Lovebox 2013 will take place between 19th – 21st July. Tickets are available now from http://lovebox.net/
