Ballots For Pollstar Awards Due Friday, Dec. 21

–

With Pollstar Live! and the 30th annual Pollstar Awards quickly approaching, only a limited amount of time remains for voters to cast their ballots. Pollstar subscribers and attendees of the 2019 Pollstar Live! conference are eligible to vote for the awards, which recognize the industry’s most successful artists, executives, venues, events and companies. Ballots must be cast by this Friday, Dec. 21.

Winners will be honored at the Pollstar Awards ceremony, held at the conclusion of the Pollstar Live! Conference, which runs Feb. 11-13 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles.

For the 2019 installment of the Pollstar Awards – the 30th annual iteration of the event – more than 2,000 agents, managers, promoters, venue operators and other professionals helped to select nominees. And for the first time, Pollstar also factored in its industry-leading box office data in its deliberations.

Additionally, Pollstar added several awards categories, including honors for Best Residency, Best Support/Special Guest, Best Non-Music Tour, Best Brand Partnership, Best Touring Musician and Best Soft Ticket Act.

Nominated talent includes Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Bruno Mars, Drake, Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, U2, Bruce Springsteen, Justin Timberlake, Post Malone, Foo Fighters and many more. As always, luminaries of the live entertainment business are also nominated.

“For 30 years, the Pollstar Awards have been the definitive recognition for achievement in the touring industry, and we are honored and privileged to again recognize the elite artists, venues, and executives in the world of live entertainment,” said Tim Leiweke, CEO of Oak View Group, parent company of Pollstar. “This is a thrilling time to be in the business of live, and we remain inspired by the level of professionalism, creativity and fan engagement exhibited by those who make up our nominees for the 2019 Pollstar Awards, and across the industry.”
