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.
