Arrival Artists Seeks Agency Associate

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Arrival Artists is an independent music booking agency born in 2020 out of the most unlikely of scenarios. Its six founders, all long time friends and colleagues, seized an opportunity to create a home that champions art above all else and a team-based company culture that is inclusive from top to bottom.

Arrival represents success stories across nearly every genre and has a proven track record of developing talent from small underground clubs to large halls, theaters, and arenas.

A vigorous work ethic and extensive relationships define our reputation in the industry and inform our ethos. This is not a new approach for us; it’s that we can now put our own name to it. We are Arrival.
