Today, Billboard, the global authority in music, announced that tickets are officially on sale for the Live Music Summit Presented by VENU, returning Monday, November 3, 2025, at 1 Hotel West Hollywood. The one-day event will bring together top executives, artists, and innovators from across the live entertainment industry for panels, networking opportunities, and a special awards ceremony. Both the summit and awards will be programmed by Billboard Senior Editor Eric Renner Brown.   

This year’s summit will feature a dynamic lineup of panels covering the most pressing topics in live entertainment including:

  • No Bots Allowed: Inside Chappell Roan's Fan-First Ticketing Strategy (Sponsored by AXS): When Chappell Roan announced her fall 2025 pop-up shows, she made it her mission to get tickets for the concerts into the hands of real fans. Partnering with AXS, she used the ticketing leader’s innovative tool, Fair AXS, to verify buyers – and stop bots and scalpers from hijacking the moment. In this panel, Dean Dewulf (AXS), Lauren McKinney (Foundations Artist Management), and Kristen Mitchell (Wasserman Nashville) will unpack how an artist’s vision, management strategy, and ticketing technology came together to protect Chappell's community and set a new standard for fan-first onsales.
  • The Women Leading The Booking Space (Sponsored by Allegiant Stadium): Today, it increasingly feels like women have broken the agency space's glass ceiling, yet women agents continue to face gender-specific challenges like navigating motherhood in a rapidly paced job. In this panel, four women whose careers are testaments to greater inclusivity in this sector – Jenna Adler (CAA), Marsha Vlasic (Independent Artist Group), and Elisa Vazzana (UTA) – will discuss navigating the live business, their clients' touring strategies and the status of that glass ceiling.

  • Building Touring's Sustainable Future With Maggie Baird: As Billie Eilish and Finneas have become leaders at the intersection of music and sustainability, so has their mother, Maggie Baird. Dating back to the earliest days of her kids' music careers, Baird has helped them to take an eco-conscious approach, and in 2020, she founded Support + Feed, which aims to mitigate climate change and increase food security by increasing accessibility to plant-based foods, including at large-scale events like concerts. Here, Baird will reflect on her work in the green touring space – and look ahead at the work that remains.

  • How Warped Tour Built A Lasting Legacy – And Returned In 2025: For decades, Warped Tour was a proving ground for punk, emo, and alt-rock artists – and an annual place where those fan communities could gather. In 2025, six years after Warped wrapped its initial 25-year run, the festival returned with three two-day events in California, Florida, and Washington, D.C. Here, Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman, Vans executive Steve Van Doren, Honey Revenge's Devin Papadol, and Pennywise's Fletcher Dragge look back on the event's legacy – and why it remains a touchstone today.

  • Spotlight Conversation – The Rise of Rauw Alejandro: In recent years, Rauw Alejandro has become one of the most in-demand Latin touring acts – and on his Cosa Nuestra World Tour this year, he took his high-concept stage production to another level. In this spotlight conversation, Rauw Alejandro and Live Nation SVP of global touring Hans Schafer will discuss the reggaeton artist's emergence as one of the live sector's most sought-after stars.

The day will also feature a networking lunch sponsored by AEG, an evening cocktail hour presented by Live Nation, and an awards ceremony recognizing leaders and innovators in live entertainment.

“Billboard’s Live Music Summit is an exclusive opportunity for concert-industry leaders, touring legends and rising stars to come together and shape the future of live entertainment,” said Hannah Karp, Editor-in-Chief, Billboard. “We’re thrilled to convene such a dynamic and powerful group of talent in Los Angeles this fall.”

Sponsors for the 2025 Live Music Summit include VENU, AEG Presents, Live Nation, Allegiant Stadium, AXS, Moody Center, Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, Tacoma Dome, and Gila River Resorts and Casinos.

Event Details

Date: Monday, November 3, 2025
Location: 1 Hotel West Hollywood, Los Angeles, CA

SheKnows announced today the launch of How to Raise Adults, a new content series offering insights from teens on navigating the complex transition from adolescence to adulthood. Covering mental health, financial literacy, technology, relationships, and social trends, the series offers an authentic look into teen perspectives and the issues shaping the next generation. As part of the How to Raise Adults series, SheKnows is proud to partner with BetterHelp to spotlight accessible mental health resources that help teens build lifelong well-being.

Created in collaboration with SheKnows editors, recognized thought leaders, and the SheKnows Teen Council, the series combines expert guidance with teen-driven insights. The Council comprises 120 contributors ages 15–19, and to date has published over 50 articles and videos, reaching 8 million parents nationwide.

"One of our goals in establishing the SheKnows Teen Council was to include the kids in a parenting conversation that often lacks their voices," said SHE Media Chief Content Officer, Cristina Velocci.

Key Insights from the Teen Council

  • Money Talks Louder When It’s Self-Made: Teens admire men who build their own wealth. In a Teen Council focus group, 100% of participants respect Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk as leading sources of influence.
  • Trusted on Tech and Wealth, Not Politics: Elon Musk’s political credibility may be questioned by teens, but his advice on technology and wealth earns strong trust.

“I completely trust him. He’s like self-made. With a lot of rich people, you don’t know how they have their money. But you know that he was smart and had his own plan.” – Clive, 16

—“Majority of people trust him with all of their information, whether they want to or not.” – Olivia, 17

  • Parenting vs. Perspective: Many teens feel their parents’ worries about phones and AI are out of touch. They recognize social media’s downsides but find real-world experiences far more rewarding.
  • Seeking Support: 67% of 120 Teen Council members surveyed turn to friends and therapists over their dads for guidance.

SheKnows will unveil the full set of findings in a special report this fall.    

Expert Perspectives

Through collaborations and interviews with leading experts and recognized thought leaders, the series equips parents with strategies to nurture resilience, confidence, and long-term well-being, helping to set children up for success.

“Your job as a parent is to help your kids figure out who they are, and you do that by really being curious about who they are.” – Mel Robbins, #1 New York Times bestselling author and award-winning podcast host

The full How to Raise Adults series, featuring expert guidance and teen-informed insights, is available at https://www.sheknows.com/p/how-to-raise-adults/

About Kali Uchis:

Global superstar, GRAMMY®-winning recording artist Kali Uchis has been hailed as a rare talent since she emerged. With artful forays into R&B, alt-pop, reggaeton, and Latin strains, she’s has released several of the most lauded albums of the past decade: from her 2015 mixtape Por Vida, to her 2018 debut LP Isolation, the 2020 Spanish set Sin Miedo (del Amor y Otros Demonios), 2023's Red Moon in Venus, which features the 2x Platinum-certified “Moonlight,” and was regaled by TIME Magazine as the ‘Best Album of the Year,’ 2024’s ORQUÍDEAS, and now her most personal body of work, her forthcoming fifth studio album Sincerely, (5/9). In 2024, ORQUÍDEAS launched Uchis’ career to new heights. Her highest charting album to date (debuting at #2 on the Billboard 200), the critically adored record — which was her fourth album overall and second in Spanish — was led by crossover singles like the Platinum-certified “Igual Que un Ángel”with Peso Pluma (#1 on Hot Latin Songs, #23 on the Hot 100) and Gold-certified “Labios Mordidos” with KAROL G(#10 on Hot Latin Songs, #97 on the Hot 100). ORQUÍDEAS was nominated for Best Latin Pop Album at the 2025 GRAMMY® Awards, Best Pop Vocal Album at the Latin GRAMMYs, and took home trophies from the Billboard Latin Music Awards and Latin American Music Awards. The set closed the year on numerous “Best Albums” lists, racking up glowing praise from countless outlets including Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Complex, and The New York Times. Amid consistent acclaim and honors — including nine GRAMMY®-nominations and a 2021 win in the category of Best Dance Song for her appearance on Kaytranada’s “10%”— Uchis’ major breakthrough came with her own 2021 smash hit “telepatía,” which has been streamed more than 2 billion times to date and was the Hot 100’s longest running Spanish-language song by a solo act this decade with a 23-week streak. Uchis is now on the way to reaching the Spotify Billions Club three times over with the smash success of songs “telepatía,” Tyler, The Creator’s “See You Again” (featuring Kali Uchis),” and soon to be “Moonlight.” Raised between Virginia and Colombia, Uchis has gone on to collaborate and share the stage with the likes of SZA, Tyler the Creator, Lana Del Rey, Gorillaz, Snoop Dogg, Rauw Alejandro, and her longtime partner Don Toliver, with whom she welcomed her first child last year. Uchis has toured the world over on multiple sold-out headlining runs, the most recent of which saw her playing arenas, as well as celebrated sets at Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, Austin City Limits, Tropicalia, Governors Ball, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and many more.

Today, CBS and Dick Clark Productions announced that Award-winning, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame®️ Inductee and philanthropist Janet Jackson will receive the prestigious ICON Award at the “2025 American Music Awards,” an honor bestowed upon an artist whose music has had undeniable cultural and global influence over the music industry. The global phenomenon and 11-time American Music Award-winner, will also take to the stage, marking her first television performance since 2018. This year’s American Music Awards will kick off summer with host Jennifer Lopez live from the all-new luxury resort, Fontainebleau Las Vegas, on Memorial Day, Monday, May 26. Promising to be a night of unforgettable performances, including from Lopez herself, the 51st AMAs will air live coast to coast at 8:00 PM ET / 5:00 PM PT on the CBS Television Network, and stream on Paramount+ in the U.S.*  Tickets to the star-studded show are available now on Ticketmaster.  

Celebrating 50 years in the music industry, Jackson is still making an impact including the recent viral craze on social media of her Billboard 100 high-energy dance track “Someone To Call My Lover” that catapulted the song back on the Billboard charts, nearly 24 years after its original release, reaching #3 on the R&B Digital Songs chart and achieving a 1,400% gain in year-to-date U.S. on-demand streams for the hit according to Luminate. “Someone to Call My Lover” originally debuted at #3 and was the second single from her chart-topping, seventh studio album, “All For You.”

She’s also set to kick off yet another leg of her wildly popular Las Vegas residency, JANET JACKSON: LAS VEGAS, returning to the Resorts World Theatre stage on May 21, 2025 for a six-show run through May 31, 2025.

Janet Jackson is one of the most influential entertainers of the modern era. Her music has won her 5 GRAMMY® Awards, 2 Emmy Awards, a Golden Globe Award, a nomination for an Academy Award along with dozens of American Music Awards, MTV Video Music Awards and Billboard Music Awards. She has received accolades as an actress as well including the NAACP Best Supporting Actor award. Janet is a published author, dancer, businessperson, philanthropist and one of biggest-selling artists in popular music history. With sales of over 180 million records worldwide, Janet Jackson stands as one of the best-selling artists of all time with a string of hits that have left an indelible impression on pop culture. She is the record holder for the biggest selling debut tour in history and is the first woman to debut in the top 10 of the Hot 100 chart. She also stands as one of only four artists to have a #1 album on the Billboard 200 in the 1980s, '90s, '00s and '10s — alongside Bruce Springsteen, Barbra Streisand and U2. Even today she continues to make an undeniable impact. In 2018, her last single, “Made for Now” with Daddy Yankee, released by her own Rhythm Nation Records, hit #1 on Billboard’s Dance Club Songs chart making it her 20th single on the chart in the span of her career. In 2019, she was inducted the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame alongside her brothers and in that same year her critically acclaimed Las Vegas residency, “Metamorphosis” closed out to record breaking ticket sales with only 18 dates at the Park MGM’s Park Theater. As reported by Billboard Boxscore, the legendary singer, dancer, songwriter, producer, and actress was among the biggest Vegas performers of the 2010s, ahead of Celine Dion (2011), Britney Spears (2013) and the Backstreet Boys (2017). Her critically acclaimed and award winning documentary “Janet Jackson.” brought in over 20 million viewers in one week.

On February 4, 2021, Janet Jackson’s iconic mega platinum-selling third album Control turned 35. The album also returned to the top of the charts, hitting #1 on the Apple Top 40 US Pop Album chart. Led by five chart-busting hit singles — “What Have You Done for Me Lately,” “Nasty,” “Control,” “When I Think Of You,” —with their complementary, tightly choreographed music videos — and “Let’s Wait Awhile,” Control became Jackson’s first No. 1 Pop album.  The album also made Billboard chart history as the first by a woman to yield five top 10-charting singles on the Billboard Hot 100. To date, Control has sold more than 10 million copies worldwide. She followed Control with Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814, which is, as of May 2025, the only album to generate seven top five-charting songs on the Billboard Hot 100. She went even further with her next album, janet., as it tallied six more top 10-charting songs on the Hot 100. In turn, she became the first artist to notch five or more top 10s on the Billboard Hot 100 from three different albums.

In 2023, her highly successful “Together Again” tour became the icon’s highest grossing trek of her career which featured 36 sold out shows and received rave reviews from fans and press. Okayplayer said “Janet has still got it, serving as our beloved sex symbol, superstar, and Queen of Pop that no one has come close to emulating.” The Chicago Tribune confirmed, “Being a performer, a showstopper, a true delight is not just what Janet Jackson does. It is who she is.” And the Boston Globe claimed, “Jackson is a killer live act.”

In December 2024, Jackson launched her exclusive residency, JANET JACKSON: LAS VEGAS, at Resorts World Theatre at Resorts World Las Vegas to sold-out crowds over New Year's Week. The critically-acclaimed production is packed with the electric high-energy and chart-topping iconic hits like "Control," "All For You," and "Together Again," along with deep cuts from her decades-long career, complemented by dazzling wardrobe moments fashioned by Thom Browne. Following her performance at the American Music Awards, Jackson will return to the Resorts World Theatre stage for three performances on May 28, 30 & 31, 2025. Tickets for all performances are on sale now.

Today, Rolling Stone announced that Gus Wenner will assume the role of Executive Chairman, and Julian Holguin will become the brand’s CEO.  Wenner will collaborate with Holguin to ensure the brand’s long-term strategic vision while pursuing new ventures outside of Rolling Stone.  Holguin will assume oversight of the business.  

“It has been an unbelievable journey leading Rolling Stone. There have been so many brilliant contributors and collaborators who have helped transform it from a magazine into a multimedia powerhouse, all while keeping its mission intact. I am grateful to every single one of them. Building something outside of Rolling Stone has been on my mind for some time, and although it has been a hard decision to make, the timing is right – the business is as strong as it has ever been, and it will be in great hands. I look forward to continuing to help guide the ship as Executive Chairman, while embarking on my next chapter,” said Wenner.

Wenner led the sale of Rolling Stone to Penske Media Corporation in 2017. Following the sale, he served as President for 4 years before becoming the brand's CEO in January 2022. During this period, he transformed Rolling Stone from a traditional magazine publisher into a thriving, multifaceted brand. Under his leadership, Rolling Stone has grown its audience to over 60 million readers per month, built a robust live events business, launched Rolling Stone Films, built a digital subscription business, and vastly expanded the brand’s global footprint – all led by the strength of its journalism. During Wenner’s tenure, Rolling Stone has won 7 National Magazine Awards, its first ever Emmy Award, a George Polk Award, and its first ever Murrow Prize.

"Rolling Stone is poised for continued success leveraging Gus’ deep experience and vision for the brand and Julian’s keen business instincts and passion for innovation,” said Jay Penske, Chairman and CEO, Penske Media Corporation. “Rolling Stone will continue its rich legacy of world class journalism and culture shaping conversation while creating new avenues for growth."

Holguin is a seasoned music and media executive and leader, with vast experience across digital publishing, social media, broadcast television and live events. He spent 10 years at Billboard, most recently as President, where he oversaw global business operations and led the company’s transformation from a business-to-business trade publication to an innovative leader in music media. He led Billboard through several transformative milestones, including its 2014 merger with The Hollywood Reporter, the acquisition of Spin Media in 2016, its 2018 merger with Dick Clark Productions and its eventual sale to Penske Media Corporation in 2020 while simultaneously leading the company to record increases across advertising, live events, licensing and content distribution. Holguin will report to Chairman and CEO, Penske Media Corporation, Jay Penske.

“The legacy and enduring impact of Rolling Stone is undeniable, and having the opportunity to broaden the scope and reach of the brand is the opportunity of a lifetime. I'm thrilled to join forces with the entire Rolling Stone team to drive its continued evolution and expansion into new and exciting territory,” said Holguin.
