Revision History

Twenty-six state attorneys general and the District of Columbia have rejected the DOJ's March 2026 settlement with Live Nation Entertainment, calling it inadequate for addressing the company's monopoly over the live concert industry. The settlement avoids a Ticketmaster breakup in favor of limited venue divestitures and fee caps, but states plan to continue litigating for more aggressive structural remedies, raising questions about political influence over antitrust enforcement.
