The two German promoters, PRK Peter Rieger Konzertagentur from Cologne and DreamHaus from Berlin, both subsidiaries of the CTS EVENTIM Group, are merging to form PRK DreamHaus.

The new company will be jointly led by the current managing directors, Klaus-Peter (Matze) Matziol and Matt Schwarz.

Tobi Habla will be appointed as an additional managing director. The offices in Cologne and Berlin, along with the existing teams, will remain unchanged.

The merger will allow the two companies to pool their strengths and create additional thematic and organizational synergies. It also represents a merging of generations within the management of the new company. In the coming years, Schwarz and Matziol will work closely to share their extensive knowledge and continue driving future growth. This strategic transition is designed to ensure that, even when Matziol steps down at a later date, the subsequent changes will occur seamlessly and in a forward-looking manner for the company, the artists, and the partners.

Klaus-Peter Schulenberg, CEO of CTS EVENTIM, commented: “The merger between PRK Peter Rieger Konzertagentur and DreamHaus will optimally position the company so that it can continue growing and sustainably strengthen its live-entertainment presence within a challenging market environment. With the combined expertise and dedication of both teams, we are ideally equipped to seize new opportunities and invest maximum energy in developing the newly merged company. I wish Matze, Matt and their teams the very best for this new phase.”
