Histori
Huka Entertainment was founded in 2005 by co-founder A.J. Niland and Bennett Drago after they promoted local events around the Mobile area of ​​Alabama. In 2010, the company held its first annual Hangout Music Festival, followed by a free Concert for the Coast concert series featuring Jimmy Buffett, Bon Jovi and others in response to the BP Oil Spill disaster. After the Hangout Music Festival, Huka Entertainment launched the Tortuga Music Festival with founders of Rock The Ocean Foundation, and also began producing the Art Book Music Project alongside Winter Circle Productions. In 2014, the company announced that it will bring the multi-genre Pemberton Music Festival to Pemberton in British Columbia, just north of the Canadian resort town of Whistler. That year the company promoted the show in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Houston, Mobile, AL, Wilmington, NC and others. In 2015, former Clear Channel executive Evan Harrison joined as CEO.
