impact.50

Welcome to Pollstar’s 2024 Impact 50, our annual list recognizing the leaders having the greatest impact on today’s live industry. This list is made up of individuals who have shown a commitment to excellence, creative problem solving, strategic management, financial success, top negotiating skills, artist development and a vision for the future. More often than not, these accomplishments are reflected in Pollstar Box Office data, but true leadership transcends numbers. In these times, it’s imperative our industry leaders fulfill a shared commitment to greater social justice, advocacy and allyship, fairness in ticketing as well as fan engagement, technological innovation and the elevation of fan experiences.
