Wasserman Music’s Lee Anderson on the Festival Headliner Shortage & Why Fyre Fest Won’t Be an Anomaly


Wasserman Music's president talks the festival market, whether another Fyre Fest-style disaster could happen again and breaking Yousuke Yukimatsu.

Lee Anderson ‘s wife tells him he’s a hoarder, but he prefers to see himself as a Renaissance man of many interests — pop art, ’80s movie posters, ’90s TV action figures, baseball cards and a closet filled with more than 600 pairs of sneakers. Known for his unmistakable phone voice and large-frame glasses, the Bridgeport, Conn., native cut his teeth in live music working at Burlington, Vt., venues like Nectar’s and Metrodome. I collect a lot of toys and pop culture items from the ’80s and ’90s like Miami Vice action figures still in the packaging or like Cheech and Chong or Jay and Silent Bob.
