Andrew McManus

Andrew McManus is an Australian live music promoter, and founder of several music promotion companies.

Andrew McManus has been a prominent concert promoter in the Australian live music landscape and has been promoting tours across, rock, pop, reggae, opera, classical and indie genres since the start of the millennium when he established the company International Touring Company (ITC) in Brisbane. His companies promoted notable and high profile tours of Australia by international acts include Fleetwood Mac, Mötley Crüe and Aerosmith.

McManus has also promoted comedians at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival with acts including Pauly Shore and Joan Rivers.

McManus is the former owner and promoter of the short lived World Wrestling All-Stars promotion, formed in October 2001 with its final tour in May 2003. The WWA toured Australia, Europe and New Zealand airing their shows on USA pay-per-view. McManus appeared on air a few times to make some announcements, but mainly ran things from behind the scenes.

In 2009, McManus organised the Impact Fighting Championships tournament, where cage fighters did not get paid, which McManus' solicitor said at the time claimed was the fault of a US partner. Provided by Wikipedia
