LEADING OFF:
THAT’S THE TICKET

Michael Rapino and his Live Nation team are leading the charge as the post-pandemic live business takes off. With millions of tickets sold, festivals going gonzo and sheds on the way, we should know by July 4 or so which acts rule the field, which ones have done OK and which should’ve stayed home. However it shakes out, Rapino and LN will be among the biggest beneficiaries of the new boom. The only gig he’d like to cancel? This Contents page engagement with us.
