Who founded and runs SJM Concerts
SJM Concerts was co-founded by Chris York and Simon Moran; Moran, its managing director and owner, also owns Warrington Wolves rugby league club.
Simon Moran is a concert promoter, managing director of SJM Concerts, a director of the Academy Music Group of venues and owner of the Warrington Wolves rugby league team. The Guardian credited him in 2011 as the catalyst for Take That reforming in 2005, and that Progress Live tour became the biggest live tour in UK and Irish history.
SJM and Moran have won the Music Week award for best UK promoter in 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011 and 2013. Headquartered in Stockport, the company promoted 2,160 shows in 2022 on a turnover of £274.9 million, and after the Oasis Live '25 reunion tour it promoted 2,135 shows in 2025 on a turnover of £487 million.
In 2026 SJM secured an events licence for Knebworth House in Hertfordshire, the site of Oasis's legendary two-night gig of 1996, which the press reports is rumoured to host the band again in 2027.
