FKP Scorpio Expands International Touring Division
October6
FKP Scorpio has appointed Tim Salvesen as International Promoter within its International Touring & Artist Development division, further strengthening the company’s global operations.
Based in Oslo, Salvesen has been part of FKP Scorpio Norway for several years, developing a diverse roster that includes Olivia Dean, Mac DeMarco, Ethel Cain, and Berlioz.
In his new role, he will collaborate with teams across all FKP offices on international tours, while continuing to promote shows in Norway.
“The combined talent of our colleagues across Europe is something that I’ve seen first-hand while working at the company,” said Salvesen. “There are a lot of very smart, creative, and good people in our group whom I’m looking forward to working more closely with.”
Rauha Kyyrö, President of International Touring & Artist Development, added: “Tim has an exceptional skill to recognise talent before everyone else catches up on it. I am beyond excited to further develop our working relationship on international touring.”
Also joining the international team are Lisa Lindfors (Stockholm) and Veera Valtonen (Helsinki) as Project Coordinators. Lindfors brings experience from the UK (Communion One), Sweden (Jubel), and South Korea (Culture Think), while Valtonen joins from Fullsteam Agency, having recently worked on Manowar’s European tour.
The appointments come as FKP Scorpio continues to strengthen its international touring strategy.
The company’s core team of head promoters now includes Filip Potocki, Gideon Karting, Xenia Grigat, Aino-Maria Paasivirta, Inga Esseling, Stephan Thanscheidt, Age Versluis, Stian Pride, Chris Rotenius, Daniel Ealam, Scott O’Neill, Carlo Scarampi, and Mazin Tappuni.
In 2025, FKP Scorpio has already sold more than one million tickets for 22 Ed Sheeran shows, generating €100 million in ticket sales.
“With the strengthening of our international team, we are taking a decisive step closer to our goal of expanding the global presence of the FKP Scorpio Group. With the people and structure now in place, we can identify and pursue new touring opportunities across Europe and worldwide even more strategically and effectively – in close partnership with other industry leaders.” said Folkert Koopmans, Founder and CEO.
