Last year's Festival Passport passes sold out within 24 hours, and purchasers were so thrilled with the experience that they created their own Official Live Nation Festival Passport Holders community to share stories and plan out festival trips together.
"Music festivals are all about the experience and we created Festival Passport as an innovative way to amplify that for music fans across all of our 100+ festivals worldwide," said Lisa Licht, CMO, Live Nation U.S. Concerts. "Festival Passport is Live Nation's tribute to our incredible festival community, and we're excited to continue to build on the program this year by increasing the number of Festival Passports available and adding a brand new VIP tier. Those who purchased the Festival Passport last year have become part of the Live Nation family. Their passion for Live Nation and our festivals is awesome!"
