Frontiers Label Group announces Tim Bailey as new Head of Label – International

27 May 2025 - Press release

Frontiers Label Group is thrilled to announce the appointment of Tim Bailey as new Head of Label - International. 

A respected industry executive with nearly two decades of experience across live music and recorded music, Bailey brings a proven track record of commercial success, creative leadership, and a strong commitment to artist development to the label.

Bailey began his music career as a concert promoter in 2006, curating and delivering live events across the UK up to arena level. During the pandemic, he pivoted to producing some of the largest UK livestream broadcasts, including a 9,000-ticket online reunion event for Bellowhead and a major production with Gary Numan. 

In 2021, he joined Earache Records as Head of Label, where he led the label through its most commercially successful period in its 40-year history - delivering a UK #1 album for Those Damn Crows, five UK Top 5 albums, and seventeen Top 40 charting albums in under four years.

“I’m delighted to join the team at Frontiers,” said Bailey. “I’ve always admired what Serafino built from the ground up in Naples. Having met him and the wider team, there’s a rare passion and love for the music at the heart of everything they do. It’s infectious, and I’m excited to be part of it”.

“They’ve become one of the most trusted mainstays of rock in the last 29 years, but the last two years have seen a huge pivot in the label’s trajectory. New label imprints FLG (Skunk Anansie, The Hunna) and BLKIIBLK (Megadeth, Biohazard) are real statements of intent and ambition, and the potential to be part of something which is set to have a real impact globally meant it was a no brainer for me”, he continued. 

“There’s a wealth of talent and experience here in the UK, in the US and across Europe, and it’s a pleasure to be invited into the team. If I’d have told 13-year-old Tim he’d one day get to work with Megadeth he’d never have believed it. Thanks for making a kid’s dream come true, Serafino!”, Bailey added.

Serafino Perugino, President and Founder of Frontiers Label Group, commented: “Tim is a passionate and forward-thinking executive with the kind of energy and experience that aligns perfectly with the next chapter of Frontiers. As we continue expanding our global footprint through exciting new imprints and artist partnerships, Tim’s leadership and vision will be a huge asset. We’re thrilled to welcome him to the family.”.
