USHER Honored as ‘Legend of Live’ at 2025 Live Music Summit

On the occasion of his birthday, October 13, announced that USHER will receive the esteemed Legend of Live award at the 2025 Live Music Summit. This accolade comes as a testament to his impactful contributions to the live music scene.

The celebration is scheduled for November 3 at 1 Hotel West Hollywood, organized by VENU. USHER’s career has been marked by significant achievements, including his recent Past Present Future Tour, which spanned 83 shows worldwide, concluding in London in the spring of 2025.

Before this tour, USHER dazzled audiences in Las Vegas at Allegiant Stadium during the 2024 Super Bowl halftime show and engaged fans with 120 concerts across two residency periods at the Colosseum and Park MGM between 2021 and 2023.

The 2025 Live Music Summit is not just about accolades; it’s also a hub for industry discussions and networking. It will cover topics like innovative ticketing strategies, the resurgence of the Warped Tour, and sustainable practices in touring. Distinguished panels such as No Bots Allowed, a discussion with Chappell Roan, and Building Touring’s Sustainable Future with Maggie Baird, highlight the summit’s comprehensive agenda.

Additionally, the summit will offer unique experiences such as a sound bath session facilitated by Brandon Holman and Zack Borer of Amber Health. This session is part of the summit’s broader focus on the intersection of wellness and entertainment.

The event promises to be an enriching experience with a networking lunch sponsored by AEG and an evening cocktail hour by Live Nation. The awards ceremony will cap off the day, celebrating the achievements and innovations of those shaping the future of live entertainment.
