LIVE WIRE:
MICHAEL RAPINO

Live Nation chief Michael Rapino is celebrating a record-breaking year for attendance, ticket sales and sponsorship activity. The company’s stock surged and continues to grow in the wake of LN’s most recent report, which documented $22.7b in revenue—a staggering 36% spike over 2022.

As the live-music marketplace retains its feverish pace, Rapino and team are, as ever, at the front of the pack. Though this HITS contents-page shout-out is one guest list he’d rather not be on.
