Billboard’s Live Music Summit returns to Los Angeles on November 10, and this year’s honorees are a perfect blend of rock royalty and pop nostalgia. Weezer will receive the Legends of Live Award, joining past recipients Usher and John Mayer. The band is currently in the middle of their 32-city Gathering World Tour, and they’ll sit down with Billboard co-chief content officer Jason Lipshutz to reflect on three decades of touring.
Hilary Duff is set to be honored with Outstanding Pop Tour of the Year for her Lucky Me Tour, a run that started as just four intimate shows and exploded into 91 dates worldwide through 2027. She’ll discuss the journey with Billboard correspondent Lyndsey Havens. The summit also features panels on the agency sector, the festival market, and international touring, plus a live taping of Billboard’s On The Record, with AEG Presents returning as a sponsor and hosting the luncheon.
Two artists who mean a lot to very different generations are getting major industry recognition in the same room, and that’s worth talking about. Whether you grew up on“Buddy Holly”or wore out your“Metamorphosis”CD, this summit has something for you. Which of these two honorees would you rather see live in concert?
