Ignition Management is a music management company with offices in London and Los Angeles. Founded in 1983, Ignition is run by Marcus Russell and Alec McKinlay. [1]

History

[edit]

Ignition was founded by Russell in 1983, who at the time managed London-based band Latin Quarter. [2] The company's early clients included The Bible,[3] Johnny Marr,[4] The The, Bernard Sumner and Electronic.[5] [6]

In May 1993, Ignition signed their most successful client: Oasis. The band went on to sell over 70 million albums worldwide,[7] and become one of the world biggest touring bands. 1.1 million people attended a 2008-2009 tour, which ended with the band's breakup in September 2009.[citation needed] A reunion tour was announced in 2024; the UK shows sold out in less than an hour, with ten million fans from 158 countries queuing online to buy 1.4 million tickets.[8]

Between 2000–2010, Ignition also managed Mercury Rev and Black Mountain, Neil Finn and Crowded House.[1][9][10] In 2016, Russell and McKinlay invested in ticket resale platform Twickets.[11]
