Executive summary
Omar Al-Joulani is president of touring at Live Nation Entertainment. Live Nation's 2026 annual filing states that he has served in this capacity since September 2021 and joined the company in 2010. That filing supersedes the co-president of U.S. Concerts title used in some 2025 coverage.
Touring is an operating function rather than a standalone public segment, but it sits at the point where artist relationships, routing, venue availability and promotion risk meet. Al-Joulani's role therefore concerns the execution of major tours rather than ownership of the company's ticketing or venue businesses.
The distinction matters. Live Index records his current corporate remit and the integrated structure around it without attributing every Live Nation tour or market decision to one executive.
Why Omar Al-Joulani matters in live music
A touring president influences which markets a run reaches, how dates are sequenced and how production and promotion are coordinated. At Live Nation's scale, those choices affect a large share of the arena and stadium calendar.
His position alongside Arthur Fogel also makes the profile useful for understanding how authority is distributed within Live Nation's touring operation rather than collapsing the division into its chief executive alone.
