Chris Stapleton and Lainey Wilson were among the evening’s big winners at the 37th Annual Pollstar Awards, held earlier this week at the Loews Hollywood Hotel as part of the Pollstar Live! gathering of global live entertainment professionals.

This year’s ceremony honored the most innovative and successful artists, tours, companies, venues and executives, and Stapleton and Wilson were recognized in a tie for Country Tour of the Year. As part of its partnership with iHeartRadio, Pollstar also introduced a new fan-voted honor this year: the inaugural iHeartRadio Pollstar Fan Favorite Award for Live Performer of the Year. The category marks a new era of audience-driven recognition, created to spotlight the artists whose live performances resonate most powerfully with fans, with this year’s inaugural award going to Morgan Wallen.

The Pinnacle in Nashville also received the award for New Concert Venue of the Year during the evening, which also recognized outstanding talent buyers, promoters, booking agents, sound companies and more. Other winners recognized during the night included Oasis, Metallica, Kendrick Lamar/SZA, The Weeknd, Benson Boone, Bad Bunny, Adam Sandler and more.

“As the benchmark for excellence in global live entertainment, the Pollstar Awards continue to be the most prestigious and influential recognition for the performers, venues, and visionaries who create unforgettable experiences for fans,” says Ray Waddell, Chief Content Director, OVG Media and Conferences. “This year’s honorees reflect the best of the best and highlight the innovation and dedication that propels our business forward. We are privileged to spotlight their extraordinary success.”
