Pollstar Live! 2021 Panels Unveiled As The Industry Plans Return To A Healthy, Post-Pandemic Era 

We’re gathering industry thought leaders from both sides of the stage to lead discussions on what the future holds June 15-17 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif., and the first round of panels announced gives just a hint of what’s to come.

“Golden Era 2.0: How The Concert Business Comes Back & What It Looks Like” will examine what the business will look like when it returns to full-tilt boogie, where and when that happens, what sort of business we will be coming back to, and what we can expect in 2022. 

Professions who operate in the GA world will take a deep dive in “The Future of GA: What Are The Implications,” aimed at venues and staff from clubs to sheds to festivals that make a living on the GA experience. Certainly, more than a few bands thrive in that environment. Find out how it might look in a post-pandemic touring world.

A panel of savvy music and event marketers will explore ways to tap into the excitement and carve out a place for their events and tours in what is sure to be a highly competitive marketplace ahead in “Changing Lanes: How To Turn Shutdown Fan Engagement Into Post-Pandemic Ticket Sales.”

And in what promises to be of tremendous interest to agents, promoters, managers and those who keep shows on the road, “Hell Yes, I’m Still Going: Untangling The Most Massive Rescheduling Campaign In The History Of Earth” is not hyperbole. In March of 2020, concert producers, tour organizers, artists, and venues were faced with the unprecedented challenge of canceling or postponing thousands of shows and events worldwide. Many were rescheduled, some more than once. Those in the trenches will discuss how they dealt with this monumental challenge, how the rescheduling process has gone, and the fan engagement dynamic in play in these completely unique times.
