Danny Hayes Stepping Down as CEO of Danny Wimmer Presents
Danny Hayes is leaving Danny Wimmer Presents, where he has served as chief executive and partner for more than a decade.
“When I first started my career as an entertainment lawyer, I never imagined I’d become a festival promoter,” Hayes wrote in email to friends on April 5. With Hayes’ help, DWP has grown into one of the largest rock festival promoters in the country with a staple of events that include Aftershock Festival in Sacramento, Bourbon and Beyond and Louder than Life in Louisville, Inkcarceration in Ohio, Sonic Temple in Columbus, Ohio and Welcome to Rockville in Daytona Beach, Florida. “The DWP staff, the fans, the bands, the vendors, the partners, and every single person who has been part of this journey—past and present—have made this an experience I will cherish forever.”
