ABOUT us

Podium Agency

PODIUM AGENCY, a structure dedicated to the production and promotion of tours for French and international artists, is a key player in contemporary music. With ten years of experience, the agency’s mission is to promote demanding and innovative talents by supporting their artistic development through live performances. With a roster of over 40 artists and more than 400 concerts per year, PODIUM AGENCY has established itself as a key partner for venues, festivals, and artists seeking tailored live performance development. In France, we are among the most active producers in SMAC programming (2024 Qui Distrib ranking).

We support artists with diverse musical aesthetics, reflecting the full richness of contemporary music, from jazz and rap to global music, rock, chanson, and electronic music. Our commitment goes beyond borders: thanks to a strong network, we open up the international stage for our artists, allowing them to perform in Europe, as well as in Canada, Brazil, Japan, South Korea, and more. At PODIUM, we transform every tour into a unique opportunity to excite audiences and advance artistic careers.

Our story

The story of Podium is rich, exciting, and fulfilling.

It has been the driving force behind the daily lives of people who are dear to me and with whom I have enjoyed working. It is this same enthusiasm that I want to pass on to you—the joy of working together, of collaborating with artists and partners who transcend our vision, our methods, and who make us question ourselves and move forward.
