History and profile
Founded in 1981 in Fresno, California, Pollstar is a trade publication that covers the concert industry in the United States and internationally.[4] They supply information to professional concert promoters, booking agents, artist managers, facility executives and other entities involved in the live entertainment business. Pollstar produces a weekly print magazine for industry professionals and publishes on their website.
Pollstar previously operated a separate website for professionals,[5] but later announced it would merge the site with Pollstar.com.[6]
Today, Pollstar has an office in London and correspondents in six countries. The magazine is a member of the Associated Press (AP). Its subscribers receive the weekly magazine and access to its online databases.[1]
In May 2018, Pollstar announced it was moving its headquarters from Fresno to Los Angeles.[7] Later, in June 2018, co-founder and editor-in-chief, Gary Bongiovani, retired from the publication.[7]
Pollstar holds an annual award ceremony to honor artists and professionals in the concert industry.[8][9][10] In 2019, Pollstar used box office performance to determine winners of their awards for the first time.[4] Previously, winners were chosen by industry voters.[4]
Pollstar also produces Pollstar Live!, a three-day concert industry conference at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, CA.[11] Originally titled the CIC - Concert Industry Consortium,[12] it brings together a mix of talent buyers, venue managers, artist agents and managers.[citation needed] Conference speakers have included Garth Brooks, Jon Bon Jovi, Eddy Cue and Michael Rapino.[13]
