Executive summary

Peter Conlon is chairman of Live Nation Georgia, based at the company's Atlanta regional headquarters, according to a March 2026 interview published by Georgia Entertainment in which he discusses the division's marketing and venue strategy [2](https://www.georgiaentertainment.com/2026/03/live-nations-peter-comes-on-crafting-the-ultimate-fan-experience/). His current LinkedIn profile lists the equivalent title of President, Atlanta, at Live Nation Entertainment [1](https://www.linkedin.com/in/peter-conlon-81b5851a9).

In Atlanta, Live Nation's venue portfolio under his oversight includes the Coca-Cola Roxy, the Tabernacle, Buckhead Theatre and Lakewood Amphitheatre, with a further theatre planned for downtown's Centennial Yards, as he described in the same 2026 interview.

Conlon's career in Atlanta promotion predates Live Nation itself; a 2022 interview marking 50 years of the city's alternative press describes him as having partnered with the late promoter Alex Cooley to build Atlanta's rock concert market from a market agents once avoided [3](https://creativeloafing.com/content-510435-50-years-an-interview-with-livenation-s-peter).

Why Peter Conlon matters in live music

As chairman of one of Live Nation's significant regional operations, Conlon's decisions on venue investment and booking shape a large share of Atlanta's live-music calendar, including the addition of new venue capacity downtown.

His decades-long continuity in the same metropolitan market, spanning the period before and after Live Nation's consolidation of the industry, gives his record particular relevance to Live Index's research on regional concentration.
