While Texas sues Live Nation, Dallas uses its artist assistance

Sting performs during the grand opening of The Echo Lounge & Music Hall in Dallas, Tuesday, Dec. 14, 2021. As Live Nation faces a lawsuit recently filed by the Justice Department that accuses the entertainment behemoth of violating antitrust laws and driving up ticket prices, the company says it’s moving forward with its little-known travel compensation program for touring musicians.

“I think it’s a good idea for any promotion company to have programs like these that incentivize the artists,” Jenkins said. “I look forward to working with them in the future.” On the Road Again launched in September 2023 after a class action lawsuit sparked an investigation into Live Nation for allegedly lying to investors by failing to disclose allegedly anti-competitive company operations. The company has been under fire since allegedly mishandling ticket sales for Taylor Swift’s 2023 “Eras Tour.” On the day presale tickets were available, an overwhelming demand for tickets caused the Ticketmaster website to crash, leaving many fans without their tickets.
