Los Angeles, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/12/2016 -- There is nothing more exciting for a music lover than attending his/her favorite musician's live performance. Unfortunately, many people across the African continent have been deprived of this pleasure for decades and this is not due financial constraints or limited ticket availability. Surprisingly, African music lovers have suffered due to the absence of a live events company that regularly organizes A-list headlined live musical concerts in different African cities. This is exactly what PIE wishes to do.

PIE is a live events company that will be dedicated and committed to consistently providing live musical concerts headlined by the world's most heart throbbing international music sensations to cities across Africa. The company was created with the intention of satisfying the unfulfilled desires of the millions of African music fans that are jaded from watching their favourite musicians perform live in cities across the world from the screens of their laptops. Out of the hundreds of African cities, PIE has targeted six that are economically sound to the point where they are ready to become the next most important stop for many international concert tours. These cites are as follows:
- Accra, Ghana
- Lagos, Nigeria
- Abuja, Nigeria
- Nairobi, Kenya
- Cairo, Egypt

The very first concert hosted by PIE will take place in Accra, Ghana on 23rd December, 2016. This event will be graced by Grammy nominated artist Wiz Khalifa and international Hip Hop icon Future. The event will also feature opening performances by five very prominent Ghanaian musicians. With a capacity of 40,000 and world-class facilities, the Accra Sports Stadium has been selected as the venue of the event. PIE is expecting their first concert to sell out completely without any doubt. (Disclaimer: The occurrence of this concert is solely dependent on the success of PIE's Indiegogo campaign. Neither Wiz Khalifa nor Future has agreed to perform at said concert, and they will only be contacting after PIE have raised enough money to cover their respective booking fees.)

After their first concert, PIE plans to reinvest all their earnings to fund their next two concerts that have both been scheduled for 2017. PIE's continental expansion strategy entails the addition of two cities to their schedule every year from 2018 onwards. They therefore plan to be fully operational in all six of their targeted cities by the year 2020.

PIE has recently started an Indiegogo campaign to raise funds for their first event in Ghana. The funding goal of this campaign is $675,000. Funds received from Indiegogo will cover artist fees, artist accommodation and travel cost, staging cost, personnel expenses, cost of the venue and miscellaneous expenses.
