V2 Presents
V2 Presents is a dance music concert production and promotion company, based in Salt Lake City, Utah.
About
[edit]V2 produces several larger scale music festivals annually. V2 also produces concerts and club events in various venues throughout Utah.
History
[edit]V2 Presents was founded in 2005 by partners Jeremy Moreland, and Brandon Fullmer.
After five years of promoting concerts individually, and before V2 was founded, Jeremy and Brandon collaborated on a festival together known as Versus 2, held on Saturday, August 20 in the Diamond Fork area of Spanish Fork Canyon in Utah County, Utah. Versus 2 was a fundamental part in the history of V2 due to the invasion by local SWAT team and Police who shut the festival down. Festival goers were able to capture video of the raid, and the videos went viral on the internet with worldwide exposure and controversy. After the incident, Jeremy and Brandon joined to make one production and promotion company and named it after the Versus 2 event.[1][2]
