The Scottish-born, Auckland-based live music veteran and entrepreneur Stuart Clumpas moved to Aotearoa in 2001 with his family to retire. Instead, he and his team took a fledgling Vector Arena struggling to find its way, and turned it into today’s internationally respected Spark Arena and Tuning Fork venues. As the director/shareholder of these venues, Stuart is very proud of what they have achieved.

From the legendary King Tuts music venue (Glasgow), T in the park festival, V Festival, artist management, running world-class venues, and former chairman of Live Nation New Zealand, Stuart is uniquely placed to give view from a global perspective.

Stuart also has a passion for flying, cars and motorbikes.
