Asia-Pacific Touring Platform Triangle Raises $15M, Adds Ex-Live Nation Exec
Asia-Pacific touring technology platform Triangle has closed a $15 million funding round and named former Live Nation executive Roger Field to its leadership team. The news was reported by industry newsletter IQ Index, published by IQ Magazine, on August 19, 2026.
What was announced
Triangle positions itself as a tool for simplifying the operational headaches of touring across Asia — namely the cross-market, cross-regulatory, and cross-language logistics that often trip up international artists trying to route shows through the region. The $15 million raise is described as a mid-sized early-stage round for a B2B touring operations company.
The other headline element is personnel: Roger Field's move from Live Nation, where he built up regional experience, lines up directly with Triangle's stated ambition to expand its Asia-Pacific operations. The announcement did not detail specific product changes tied to the funding.
MRG opens in Australia
The same IQ Index issue carried a second personnel and market-expansion item: Canadian independent promoter MRG has opened an office in Australia, with former Live Nation executive Graham Kennedy installed as senior promoter to lead the push into the Oceania market.
The two items landing in the same newsletter issue point to a pattern — independent promoters and touring-tech platforms both moving into Asia-Pacific and Oceania right now, and both pulling talent from major promotion companies to do it.
What we don't know yet
Triangle has not disclosed which investors led or joined the round, nor specifics on how the capital will be allocated beyond Field's exact remit or start date. MRG has likewise not detailed near-term show or tour plans tied to its Australia office. Readers tracking either company should expect further specifics, if any, in future IQ Index issues.
