Taylor Swift won the Major Tour of the Year award for the second year in a row at the 2025 Pollstar Awards in Beverly Hills Wednesday night, while Stevie Nicks, Chappell Roan, Jelly Roll, Billie Eilish and Bruce Springsteen took home top awards as well.
Nicks was inducted into the Pollstar Live Hall of Fame, alongside veteran concert promoters Barrie Marshall and Louis Messina, while Nashville’s famed Ryman Auditorium was inducted too. Chappell Roan won for New Headliner of the Year, Jelly Roll won for country tour of the year and Eilish beat out Swift for pop tour of the year. Dead and Company’s high profile residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas unsurprisingly won for residency of the year.
Pollstar’s awards show is one of the marquee events at the annual Pollstar Live conference, with the awards considered among the highest honors in the live music industry. While the Pollstar Awards recognizes the artists, it also bestows many awards to concert venues and individual executives. Christy Castillo Butcher won for venue executive of the year, while Red Light’s Coran Capshaw and Azoff Company’s Irving Azoff tied for personal manager of the year.
