Destroy All Lines Recruits Veteran Promoter Scott Mesiti

The new recruit’s CV includes stints as festival director of Australian Music Week and director of MJR Presents, acquired by TEG in 2019.

Mesiti has promoted artists such as Hans Zimmer, Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, Cypress Hill, 50 Cent, Six 60, The Jacksons, Sia, Steel Panther, Evanescence, James, Salt & Pepa, Sean Paul, Shaggy, UB40 and other, “and we can’t wait to see what he brings to the company in the future,” O’Brien continues.
Destroy All Lines has emerged as one of the biggest independent concert promoters here or anywhere, shifting upwards of 700,000 tickets in the past 12 months.
Formed in 2003, Destroy All Lines has worked on treks for the likes of The Offspring, All Time Low, Interpol, Bring Me The Horizon, Simple Plan, Bloc Party, Ghost, Parkway Drive and many others.
The jewel in its crown is Good Things, the traveling heavy music fest which visits Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane next month, with a show featuring Korn, Sum 41 and many more.
Last year, the company launched its work promoting Knotfest Australia, on which Mesiti served as cand, more recently, established its comedy and country music divisions.
“I’m really looking forward to this next chapter,” comments Mesiti. “Destroy All Lines have been kicking major goals these past few years and have an incredible reputation globally. Having previously worked together on several projects, I’m a big fan of their approach, delivery, culture and I’m excited to contribute.”
