BigCityBeats and Beyond Capital sell their shares to Lafayette Mittelstand Capital

Frank­furt a. M. — Bernd Brei­ter as mana­ging part­ner of BigCi­ty­Beats GmbH and Beyond Capi­tal Part­ners GmbH were successfully advi­sed by Mayland on the sale of the assets of BigCi­ty­Beats GmbH (“BCB”) to Lafay­ette Mittel­stand Capital.
BCB is a German company based in Frank­furt, specia­li­zing in the orga­niza­tion and marke­ting of music events.
Foun­ded by Bernd Brei­ter in 2005, the company is best known for its event series “World Club Dome”, which orga­ni­zes large festi­vals in arenas, stadi­ums and unusual loca­ti­ons such as cruise ships and airplanes.
The events combine music, life­style and enter­tain­ment and attract top inter­na­tio­nal DJs and nume­rous visitors.
The World Club Dome has alre­ady made it into the top 10 in the DJ MAG voting of the world’s most popu­lar festi­vals seve­ral times (#1 in Germany).
In addi­tion to live events, BCB also opera­tes its own radio station and publishes music.
The company has made a name for itself in the inter­na­tio­nal club scene with inno­va­tive concepts and spec­ta­cu­lar event locations.
As part of the deal, all of BCB’s assets were trans­fer­red to the newly foun­ded WORLD CLUB DOME GmbH, in which Bernd Brei­ter will conti­nue to hold a mino­rity stake.
In this way, the world-famous and estab­lished “World Club Dome” brand will retain Breiter’s exten­sive network and expe­ri­ence, while Lafay­ette will conti­nue to deve­lop the company through capi­tal, stra­te­gic advice and opera­tio­nal support and further expand the inter­na­tio­nal reach of the festi­val series.
As part of a compe­ti­tive auction, MAYLAND approa­ched both stra­te­gic inves­tors and finan­cial investors.
The process was successfully concluded in a very short time with the sale to Lafayette.
Follo­wing the successful sale of Next Events GmbH in 2019, orga­ni­zer of the world-famous festi­val “Paroo­ka­ville”, this was another successful tran­sac­tion for MAYLAND advi­sing a far-reaching music event format based in Germany.
