From World Tours to Revolutionary Strategies
The one-day event will feature an impressive lineup of leaders, artists, and innovators. One of the focal points will be a “Spotlight Conversation” with Puerto Rican superstar Rauw Alejandro, who will discuss his acclaimed Cosa NuestraWorld Tour alongside Live Nation svp Hans Schaefer. Their dialogue will explore his rise as one of the most sought-after artists of the moment, as well as the innovative concepts behind his stage production.
But the summit goes beyond a single artist. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in discussion panels that address everything from the return of iconic festivals like the Vans Warped Tour—with its founder Kevin Lyman—to the discussion of new strategies to combat bots in ticket sales, a panel sponsored by AXS that promises to be of great interest to fans. Additionally, Maggie Baird, the mother of Billie Eilish and Finneas, will talk about how she instilled an eco-conscious approach to music through her foundation, Support + Feed, which seeks to promote food security with plant-based foods at large-scale events.
A Meeting Point to Shape the Future
The summit is not just an opportunity to hear from great leaders, but also to network with them through lunches and an awards ceremony recognizing innovation in the industry.
Billboard’s editor-in-chief, Hannah Karp, perfectly summarizes the spirit of the event: “Billboard’s Live Music Summit is an exclusive opportunity for concert-industry leaders, touring legends and rising stars to come together and shape the future of live entertainment.”
Those interested in being part of this crucial event can purchase their tickets now. With the participation of industry giants like AEG Presents and Live Nation, the 2025 summit is a must-attend for anyone looking to understand the pulse of live music and be part of its next evolution.
