Live Nation awards

WINNERS: Live Nation is celebrating the honors earned by a number of team members and divisions. Kudos to Quest Management's Scott Rodger (Paul McCartney, Arcade Fire), who was dubbed Manager of the Year at London's Artist & Manager Awards. Pollstar winners include Brian O'Connell (Promoter of the Year), Clarence Spalding (Personal Manager of the Year), the P!nk tour (Most Creative Stage Production) and LN-promoted Imagine Dragons (Best New Touring Artist). President of electronic music James Barton and Insomniac founder Pasquale Rotella earned the top two spots on Rolling Stone's "50 Most Important People in EDM list," while HARD founder Gary Richards landed at #25. Ticketmaster International was given the Golden Ticket at the Arthur Awards (where Herman Schueremans also took home the Promoter's Promoter laurel), while Ticketmaster North America President Jared Smith appeared on the Sports Business Journal's Forty Under 40 List. Congrats to all. Meanwhile, HITS once again came in second for the award honoring music-trade publications located on this stretch of Lankershim Boulevard. (3/18p)
