Singapore-based live entertainment platform Triangle Group has raised US$15 million in funding as it looks to make touring across Asia-Pacific easier for artists and their teams.
The investment comprises a US$10 million equity seed round led by DSG Consumer Partners and US$5 million in venture debt from Genesis Alternative Ventures.
Headquartered in Singapore, Triangle Group currently operates across 18 cities in nine countries, with teams in Singapore, Australia, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Its goal is to tackle one of the longstanding challenges of touring Asia-Pacific: connecting individual markets into viable regional touring routes.
For artists with established fanbases in Asia, mounting a multi-city tour can involve navigating different promoters, visa requirements, tax systems, languages, and audience spending power from market to market.
“Every city in Asia is completely different,” shared Triangle Group co-founder Zaran Vachha. “When we send a proposal to a London agent, they're dealing with one counterparty who actually knows Jakarta, Manila, and Melbourne.”
Vachha has spent two decades developing touring circuits across Asia, working with acts ranging from Pharrell Williams to underground electronic artists. He is joined by co-founder Greg Hargrave, an Australian entrepreneur with experience in fintech and ASX-listed companies, and Chief Financial Officer Matthew Qi-Tao.
The company has also brought former Live Nation Asia Pacific President Roger Field onboard as Executive Director and Operating Partner. Field previously served as CEO of Live Nation Australia & New Zealand and spent a year as an advisor and investor in Triangle before joining the company full-time.
“Running Live Nation across this region taught me one thing: Asia-Pacific doesn't need a global template; it needs an operator who understands every market individually,” said Field.
“That's the business we're building at Triangle—applying global standards with a regional focus. There's a larger piece of the pie we can claim by making it genuinely easier to tour the region.”
Triangle operates a portfolio of live entertainment brands, including Collective Minds, Curious, and Touch Bass.
Collective Minds has worked on tours and events featuring artists including Fred again.., Jamie xx, Charlotte de Witte, Black Coffee, Kamasi Washington, Eric Prydz, and Wolf Alice, alongside festival properties such as A State of Trance (ASOT) and S2O.
Curious focuses on live speaking tours and recently brought The Diary of a CEO author Steven Bartlett to Asia, while Touch Bass operates a multi-city drum & bass touring festival in Australia.

Triangle's wider touring roster has also included HONNE, Hanumankind, Gilles Peterson, James Hype, and Boris Brejcha, among others.
Upcoming events under the group's brands include Singapore shows from The Martinez Brothers, ARTBAT, Intercell, and Dom Dolla, alongside Intercell in Hong Kong and Otherworld Festival in Manila. Its Australian operations also have Tomorrowland CORE in Melbourne and Rampage dates across Australia and New Zealand on the calendar.
According to Triangle Group, Asia-Pacific's live entertainment market is projected to reach US$75 billion by 2033, while the region is expected to account for almost two-thirds of the world's middle class by 2035.
With its latest funding, the company is positioning itself around that growing appetite for live experiences — building the regional infrastructure to make more Asia-Pacific tour stops commercially and operationally possible for artists.
