The Department of Justice filed an antitrust lawsuit Thursday, looking to break up the company. Attorney General Merrick Garland said the government alleges Live Nation "relies on unlawful, anticompetitive conduct to exercise its monopolistic control over the live events industry." Live Nation and Ticketmaster came under fire in 2022 after a botched on sale for tickets to Taylor Swift's Eras Tour, leading to a Senate hearing.
