U2 and Paul McGuinness scooped three major awards in Hollywood at the weekend.

Nominations for the awards, which represent 'the best the concert business has to offer' are made by professionals from a cross-section of the international concert industry.

On Saturday Paul McGuinness was named Personal Manager of the Year, and U2 won both Major Tour Of The Year and Most Creative Stage Design/Production.

The band beat off stiff competition from Madonna and Radiohead for the Major Tour Of The Year prize.

The Most Creative Stage Production was also no walkover with Pollstar.com subscribers voting for U2 ahead of Madonna, Janet Jackson, Tool and NSYNC.
