The Police, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, Kenny Chesney, and Genesis are among the finalists for the 2007 Billboard Touring Awards.
The awards, which will be presented Nov. 15 in New York as part of the 2007 Billboard Touring Conference at New York’s Roosevelt Hotel, honor the industry’s top artists, venues and professionals for the year, based on the Billboard Boxscore chart. They are based on actual box office performance from Jan. 1, 2007 to Sept. 30, 2007.
The Police and Timberlake are finalists for both the Top Tour and Top Draw awards, which are given to the top-grossing tour and the top ticket-selling tour, respectively. Genesis joins them in the Tour category and Chesney in the Draw group. Timberlake is also a finalist for Breakthrough tour, with Aguilera and Mana.
For the first time this year, Billboard will also present the Billboard Concert Marketing & Promotion award, the only award (outside of the Humanitarian and Legend awards) not decided by Billboard Boxscore, but rather by more than 30,000 online votes at Billboard.com and Billboard.biz, through Oct. 31.
The seven finalists for the award, which recognizes a sponsorship or promotion that achieved its marketing goals in a quantifiable way, benefited the concert industry at large by stimulating live event attendance and provided a value to music fans.
They include the Jagermeister Mobile Stage, Summerfest’s U.S. Cellular Connection Stage, the Jeep-sponsored Tim McGraw/Faith Hill Soul2Soul (S2S) 2007 Tour, BlackBerry-sponsored John Mayer 2007 Tour, Hershey’s S’more Access to Brad Paisley and Verizon Wireless’ sponsorship of Fergie’s tour.
