Jon Hudgins
Entertainment Director
Jon began his Entertainment Transportation career in 2022, working on the festival circuit with Evanescence. He was immediately placed for his next job as the assistant coordinator for a 42 truck tour - “The Weeknd”. As the assistant coordinator, Jon constructed a complex, 70+ truck relay system that routed drivers across Canada and the United States, strategically dropping and hooking trailers so that no driver ever ran out of hours and every trailer made it to load-in on time. In the middle of this tour, Jon was additionally assigned to help oversee 13 trucks that were added to the “Bad Bunny” Tour, 2 trucks for “the Strokes”, 2 for “Evanescence”, and 2 that were added to the tour for the comedian, “Joji”.
After juggling and successfully completing those assignments, Jon was selected to be the lead driver for three legs of the “Life is but a Dream” Avenged Sevenfold tour, leading and managing 11 trucks from the road. Between legs of this tour, Jon served as Co-Lead driver for a 50-truck tour supporting Karol G, specifically serving truck breakdowns and re-powers from the field in high-pressure situations.
In 2024, Jon has most recently worked with Bad Bunny, Remi Wolf, and the reunion of Lincoln Park.
After a year of planning, consulting, and contract work between these shows, Jon officially joined the team at Tradd Advisory Company to spearhead the Entertainment Arm of our operation. TAC Entertainment has already completed projects for events, gear moves, festivals, and one-off concerts, and is in the planning stage for several Stadium Tours starting in the Summer and Fall. Some of these are listed at the bottom of this page.
We look forward to the future in this highly-specialized and complex department of transportation and hope to be considered for your next tour.
