DLA Piper advised the shareholders of ID&T on the sale of ID&T group to SFX Entertainment. SFX Entertainment has bought 75 percent of ID&T, a Dutch festival promoter, for $102 million in cash and stock. The deal, perhaps the biggest in the market so far, will give SFX a major foothold on the global festival circuit as it tries to build a $1 billion media empire centered on dance.
