A couple of previously announced honors also were handed out at the event.  Neil Diamond was presented with the prestigious Legend of Live award, while the Michael Jackson Immortal World Tour by the Cirque du Soleil troupe received the Creative Content Award.

The 2012 Billboard Touring Awards ceremony was held at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City.  The bash served as the finale of the ninth annual Billboard Touring Conference, which began on Wednesday.
