The ultimate R&B showman will be honored following his blockbuster Past Present Future Tour, which launched in August 2024 in Washington, D.C., and concluded this past spring in London, running for 83 international concerts. Before that, USHER took over Las Vegas, headlining the 2024 Super Bowl halftime show at Allegiant Stadium and performing two residencies in Sin City between 2021 and 2023, playing 120 concerts across his Colosseum and Park MGM stints.
In addition to USHER’s Legend of Live appearance, it was also announced Tuesday that the summit will feature a guided sound bath experience led by music executive and wellness leader Brandon Holman and Amber Health co-founder Zack Borer.
As previously announced, this year’s summit will host panels addressing crucial topics in live entertainment, including No Bots Allowed: Inside Chappell Roan’s Fan-First Ticketing Strategy; Spotlight Conversation – The Rise of Rauw Alejandro; How Warped Tour Built A Lasting Legacy – And Returned In 2025; The Women Leading The Booking Space (sponsored by Allegiant Stadium); and Building Touring’s Sustainable Future With Maggie Baird, the mother of Billie Eilish and FINNEAS and a leader in the intersection of music and sustainability.
Bringing together top executives, artists and innovators from across the live entertainment industry, the one-day Billboard Live Music Summit will include panels, networking opportunities and an awards ceremony. Both the summit and awards are programmed by Billboard senior editor Eric Renner Brown. Key highlights include a networking lunch sponsored by AEG, an evening cocktail hour presented by Live Nation, and an awards ceremony recognizing leaders and innovators in the field.
