Hilary Duff to Receive Outstanding Pop Tour Award at Billboard Live Music Summit
Hilary Duff will receive Billboard's Outstanding Pop Tour of the Year award at the 2026 Billboard Live Music Summit. She will also sit down for an exclusive conversation during the event. Billboard announced the award and the appearance on Wednesday, Sept. 30. Billboard
The one-day summit will take place on Tuesday, Nov. 10 at 1 Hotel West Hollywood. It is presented by VENU, with tickets officially on sale. Programming for the summit and its awards is led by Billboard senior editor Eric Renner Brown. Badge holders, meaning those with summit passes, will also have access to a pre-summit opening reception on Monday, Nov. 9, sponsored by THE·TEAM.
The honour centres on Duff's Lucky Me Tour. The tour has been extended through November 2027. The extended run is scheduled to start in Madrid in May 2027 and finish in Anaheim, California. That schedule keeps Duff on the road for a full second year after the current dates.
The run supports Luck...or Something, released in February as her first album in 10 years. Billboard Before the album campaign stepped up, Duff played a four-city Small Rooms, Big Nerves trek that concluded in Los Angeles. She used that Los Angeles concert to tease an upcoming world tour. Billboard The summer schedule also included back-to-back nights at the newly renamed RBC Amphitheatre in Canada.
The November summit will feature other live-music names alongside Duff. The event site lists The Strokes as featured conversation participants. Billboard Live Music Summit Separately, the Grammy Museum will host An Evening With Hilary Duff on its Ray Charles Rooftop Terrace. Grammy Museum The museum bills the evening as a discussion around her album luck...or something.
For fans, this means November comes first. Duff will talk about touring, then collect the pop-tour honour in West Hollywood. After that, attention turns back to the road. The path from a four-city club run to a tour stretching from Madrid to Anaheim into late 2027 is a long one. The summit conversation should fill in how that build was planned, date by date.
