It will also introduce its first-ever Hip-Hop Power Panel, featuring some of the genre’s top executives from major talent agencies including UTA, Paradigm, Live Nation and London Entertainment.John Amato, president of The Hollywood Reporter-Billboard Media Group, says the conference’s mission is even more relevant in light of recent acts of violence that have compromised the sanctity of live music events. “While we cannot make sense of these senseless acts of violence, live music remains a bedrock of our culture and will continue to serve as a common thread of inclusiveness and celebration,” he says. “I’m proud that Billboard continues to bring together the touring community to commemorate the spirit and significance of live music.” The Billboard Touring Conference & Awards will honor legacy artists, breakout stars, record-smashing tours and powerhouse venues across the country. The Legends of Live award is Billboard’s highest accolade in the live entertainment space, recognizing professionalism and steadfast commitment to the art and craft of live performance. With it, McGraw and Hill will be honored for their professionalism and devotion to the art and craft of performance across their careers.Meanwhile, Lil Uzi Vert will also snatch the Breakthrough Artist award, and nonprofit advocacy group Everytown for Gun Safety will take home this year’s Humanitarian Award.Find more information about the Billboard Touring Conference & Awards [here](https://ampthemag.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6b7f0d28a318978ae93633789&id=842290ca00&e=860234953f&ref=hypebot.com), and see the full list of finalists and honorees below.**Billboard Touring Conference & Awards Finalists and Honorees** **Legends of Live**Tim McGraw and Faith Hill**Humanitarian Award**Everytown for Gun Safety**Breakthrough Artist**Lil Uzi Vert**Top Tour**ColdplayGuns N’ RosesU2**Top Draw**ColdplayGuns N’ RosesU2**Top Festival**CoachellaStagecoachOutside Lands**Top Arena**Madison Square Garden, New YorkO2 Arena, LondonT-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas**Top Venue – Under 10,000 Seats**Auditorio Nacional, Mexico CityThe Axis at Planet Hollywood, Las VegasRadio City Music Hall, New York**Top Venue – Under 5,000 Seats**The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, Las VegasFox Theatre, AtlantaOrpheum Theatre, Minneapolis**Top Promoter**AEG PresentsLive Nation EntertainmentOCESA-CIE**Top Independent Promoter Worldwide**Another Planet EntertainmentFrontier TouringMercury Concerts**Top Agency**Paradigm Talent AgencyCreative Artists AgencyWilliam Morris Endeavor**Concert Marketing & Promotion**Bruno Mars Paint the World Gold Campaign for 24K Magic TourKhalid Summer #F21xMusic Digital and We Are Forever campaigns for Forever 21Lady Gaga’s “Dream Ticket” promotion with Verizon for her Joanne World TourTaylor Swift’s Super Saturday show with AT&T and Swift-curated channel on AT&T’s DirecTV Now streaming-TV serviceFoo Fighters Cal Jam and North American Concrete and Gold Tour with Capital One**Top Manager**Jeffery AzoffPat CorcoranScooter Braun**Top Comedy Tour**Dave ChappelleAmy SchumerJerry Seinfeld**Top Club**The Fillmore PhiladelphiaHouse of Blues Boston9:30 Club, Washington, D.C.**Top Ampitheater**BB&T Pavilion, Camden, N.J.Hollywood Bowl, Los AngelesNorthwell Health at Jones Beach Theater, Wantagh, N.Y.**Top Boxscore**Guns N’ Roses, London Stadium, June 16-17Phish, Madison Square Garden, New York, July 21-Aug. 6U2, Stade de France, Paris, July 25-26
