Jake Haller, Founder and CEO of Nightfall Presents, has dedicated his life to creating moments where music, art, and people come together in unforgettable ways. Based in Brooklyn, New York, Jake grew up surrounded by music through his father, who toured and worked in the industry. That upbringing gave him an early appreciation for the magic that happens when artists and fans connect—a spark that grew into a lifelong passion and continues to drive every step of his journey.

Jake’s résumé spans some of the biggest and most respected festivals in the world, including Ultra Music Festival, EDC, Coachella, Rolling Loud, Electric Zoo, Warped Tour, North Coast, Breakaway, and more. He has also been a part of shows at iconic venues such as Madison Square Garden, Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Mission Ballroom, the Hollywood Bowl, and countless others. From the biggest festival stages to intimate club shows, Jake has worn nearly every hat the industry has to offer—talent buyer, stage manager, artist relations manager, production coordinator, and marketing strategist. Whether negotiating with world-class talent, running stages, or bringing a show to life through creative marketing, Jake approaches every detail with the same purpose: to create spaces where music inspires joy and community.

He also served on the Artist Relations team at the Brooklyn Mirage, one of the most iconic venues in the U.S., where he worked directly with top-tier touring artists and refined his expertise in artist care, backstage hospitality, and operational leadership. These experiences, paired with years of festival work, have made him a true connector between artists, agents, managers, and fans.

Beyond his professional milestones, Jake’s story carries a deeper meaning. After surviving a battle with cancer, he returned to the industry with a renewed sense of purpose—to use music as a force for connection, healing, and celebration. That perspective fuels everything he does with Nightfall Presents, where the mission is bigger than just throwing shows: it’s about building memories, inspiring creativity, and reminding people why live music is one of the most powerful experiences we share.
