Live Nation disputes merits of DOJ antitrust suit joined by Brown, others

Live Nation Entertainment Inc. is pushing back against an antitrust lawsuit brought by the Justice Department and 30 attorneys general, including Maryland’s, a suit it said makes “absurd” claims and will do little to benefit consumers. “DOJ is not helping consumers with their actual problems,” according to the statement released Thursday by Dan Wall, executive vice president of corporate and regulatory affairs for Live Nation.
