FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 





                    SFX ENTERTAINMENT ACQUIRES MAGICWORKS 


NEW YORK, September 11, 1998 -- SFX Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: SFXE) today 
announced that it has acquired Magicworks Entertainment Incorporated, which 
is engaged in the management, production, presentation and merchandising of 
theatrical shows, musical concerts and other forms of live entertainment. 
Magicworks also provides personal representation and sports marketing 
services to professional athletes in such sports as figure skating, baseball, 
and tennis. SFX Entertainment accepted tendered shares representing more than 
90 percent of Magicwork's outstanding shares. SFX Entertainment's tender 
offer for Magicworks' shares expired on Thursday, September 10, 1998, at 
midnight New York City time. 

SFX Entertainment said it plans today to effect a short form merger, under 
which it will acquire 100 percent ownership of Magicworks. 

Magicworks has been a regular partner of SFX in many of its significant 
productions. Currently, the two companies are working together on such 
theatrical tours as "Evita," "Cabaret," "Jekyll & Hyde" and "The Gin Game" 
starring Julie Harris and Charles Durning. They have also worked closely as 
two of the principal co-owners of the country's largest theatrical booking 
agency. Magicworks, which from its inception has been the worldwide producer 
and promoter of "The Magic of David Copperfield", now co-produces the 
national tour of David Copperfield with SFX. 

Commenting on the transaction, Robert F. X. Sillerman, Executive Chairman of 
SFX, said, "We are pleased to announce the completion of this important 
strategic acquisition. Magicworks is a great company with whom we have had a 
longstanding historical relationship. Now that we have full responsibility 
for our previously joint interests, as well as for productions we have not 
shared before, we can bring the full benefits of these additional theatrical 
and music events to the potential corporate sponsors with whom we are in 
discussions at "SFX Live." The current success which Magicworks and SFX are 
both enjoying in their businesses promises a prosperous future together." 

                                    ***** 

SFX Entertainment is a leading promoter, producer and venue operator for live 
entertainment events. It owns and/or operates the largest network of venues 
in the country used principally for music concerts and other live 
entertainment events. Upon completion of all pending acquisitions, it will 
have 73 venues either directly owned or operated under lease or exclusive 
booking arrangements in 28 of the top 50 markets, including 13 amphitheaters 
in 9 of the top 10 markets. The company also develops and manages touring 
Broadway shows, selling subscription series in 39 of the estimated 60 markets 
that maintain active touring schedules with approximately 240,000 subscribers 
last year. Through its large number of venues, its strong market presence and 
the long operating histories of the businesses it has acquired, SFX operates 
an

integrated franchise that promotes and produces a broad variety of live 
entertainment events locally, regionally and nationally. Pro forma for all 
completed and pending acquisitions, during 1997, approximately 30 million 
people attended 11,300 events promoted and/or produced by SFX, including 
approximately 5,400 music concerts, 5,600 theatrical shows and over 200 
specialized motor sports events. 

                                    ***** 

This press release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of 
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities 
Exchange Act of 1934. Because these statements apply to future events, they 
are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to 
differ materially, including the company's absence of combined operating 
history and potential inability to integrate acquired businesses, need for 
additional financing, high degree of leverage, granting of rights to acquire 
certain portions of the company's operations, variable economic conditions 
and consumer tastes, restrictions imposed by existing debt and future payment 
obligations. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ 
materially are described in the company's reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q and 
other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
