Benjamin Boehnstedt
Concert promoter, FKP Scorpio Germany
The decision to work in the live music industry came after an internship at my favorite
music venue "Schlachthof" in my hometown Wiesbaden, Germany in 2008, where I had
previously spent half of my youth watching concerts.
After an apprenticeship at FKP Scorpio in Hamburg and a short interlude at The Agency
Group in London, I returned to FKP Scorpio, working as a booking assistant.
Since 2017, I have been working there as a tour booker and have since built up my own
roster, promoting the German dates of artists such as Nick Cave, Fontaines D.C., Black
Pumas, IDLES, Amy Macdonald, among others.
In 2017, I developed the concept for the one-day showcase festival "Mucke Bei die
Fische" in Hamburg, which has since presented artists such as Tom Grennan, Tamino or
Jade Bird.
One of many highlights over the years was accompanying the artist
Malik Harris, whom I have been working with since his first steps, on his journey to the final
of the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 in Turin, Italy.
In 2018 and 2022, I was the lead project manager for the Rolling Stones' stadium shows
in Germany. 2024 I had the same role for the Taylor Swift stadium shows in Germany.
