Pollstar’s 2025 Impact International: UK/Euro Honors

impacteurologo

Welcome to Pollstar’s 2025 Impact International: UK/Euro Honors.

If there’s one thing Pollstar‘s 2025 Impact International: UK/Euro honorees have in common, it’s dedication. To fans, artists, staff & crew – all who make up this great spectacle of live, and manage to make it more spectacular each year.

This year’s selection of professionals at the top of their game proves a few things: the next generation of headliners is worthy to carry the mantle of rock ’n’ roll royalty; borders are a minor inconvenience; fans are everywhere and artists are making an effort to perform for all of them. Domestic talent rules while new markets open up; the industry is rife with opportunity and challenges alike, and most of our honorees treat the latter as the former; culture trumps profit, loyalty trumps opportunism; and the team is everything.

No one sees this as a job. Rather, it is a calling. Their stories are fascinating, and we hope you enjoy them. Congratulations to this year’s Impact International honorees.
