Live Nation mencapai kesepakatan dengan Departemen Kehakiman AS dalam gugatan antitrust yang telah lama berlangsung, menghindari pemisahan dengan Ticketmaster tetapi setuju untuk perubahan operasional, termasuk divestasi amfiteater dan membuka penjualan tiket untuk pesaing. Kesepakatan tersebut, yang diumumkan selama persidangan pada 9 Maret 2026, menuai kritik dari beberapa jaksa agung negara bagian yang berencana melanjutkan litigasi terpisah.
Stephen Parker, head of the National Independent Venue Association, urged structural remedies including a full Live Nation-Ticketmaster breakup following the April jury verdict finding the companies liable for monopolization and unlawful tying. He argued past behavioral fixes failed and called for promotion caps, artist management divestitures, and a long-term firewall.
