Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi and Michael Jackson up for Billboard Touring Awards

Once again, veteran artists are well positioned to take a number of the trophies when Billboard hands out its Touring Awards on November 14 at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York.

Bruce Springsteen and Bon Jovi compete against the touring company of Michael Jackson Immortal for the Top Tour of the year, based on gross receipts, while the same two go up against P!nk for Top Draw which is based on tickets sold.

Billboard's Ray Waddell said of the awards "The live music industry remains on a strong growth path, in large part due to the effort and creativity of the tours, artists, venues, events, executives and companies represented as finalists for the Billboard Touring Awards. By basing the majority of these awards on Boxscore data, as opposed to some sort of popular vote, the Billboard Touring Awards has, over the past decade, been the true mark of achievement in the live music space."

New this year is the Shell Rotella Haul of Fame honoring the top ten concert and event haulers of the last decade.
