Executive summary

Amy Corbin is a promoter at C3 Presents and South Region President of Live Nation's U.S. Concerts division, a dual title Pollstar's 2025 Impact 50 profile of C3's leadership uses to describe her current role [1](https://news.pollstar.com/2025/06/16/2025-impact-50-honoree-charles-attal-charlie-walker-amy-corbin/). Live Nation acquired C3 Presents in 2014, and Corbin's South Region responsibilities sit within that parent company's structure.

She has led talent buying for Austin City Limits Music Festival, Atlanta's Music Midtown and New Orleans' Voodoo Music + Arts Experience, having joined C3 in 1999 while it was founded by Charles Attal, Charlie Walker and Charlie Jones, and having grown with the company from answering phones at SXSW into its senior festival leadership [2](https://news.pollstar.com/2024/03/11/women-of-live-hall-of-fame-amy-corbin/).

She was inducted into Pollstar's Women of Live Hall of Fame in 2024 and named to Pollstar's Impact 50 list in 2020, 2022, 2023, 2025 and 2026, a pattern of sustained trade recognition for her festival leadership [4](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/pollstar_impact50-pollstar-activity-7474870467149959168-RhJf).

Why Amy Corbin matters in live music

Corbin's dual role gives her direct authority over both C3's global festival portfolio, including Lollapalooza's international expansion, and Live Nation's broader South Region concert operations, making her one of the most senior women in U.S. festival promotion.

Her tenure documents the operational continuity possible after a major-company acquisition: C3 has continued to expand its festival footprint, including new international Lollapalooza editions, under Live Nation ownership rather than being absorbed into a single national brand.
