The deal requires Live Nation, which owns Ticketmaster, to pay roughly $200 million in damages to participating states. The centerpiece of the agreement is expected to be structural changes to Live Nation’s ticketing business. Under the settlement, Ticketmaster will be required to open parts of its platform to rival ticketing companies, allowing third-party sellers such as SeatGeek or Eventbrite to list tickets directly through Ticketmaster’s technology. The deal also places new limits on the long-term exclusivity contracts Ticketmaster has historically used to lock venues into its system, cutting those agreements down to four years and allowing venues to allocate a portion of their tickets to competing platforms. “This will revolutionize the ticketing marketplace,” said one of the people who was granted anonymity to speak candidly. “These are innovative technological solutions to a very difficult problem with prying open the marketplace.” Live Nation did not immediately respond to a request for comment.” (Politico) LIVE NATION Settles Anti-Trust Lawsuit; Screws Everyone | The Podcast That Rocked

SHINEDOWN Fallout From Leaving Kid Rock’s Festival | The Podcast That Rocked

The Podcast That Rocked for 2/18/26. Shinedown responding and dealing with the fall out, TOOL for the Sphere, Arch Enemy new singer, and more.Discussion Topics:Shinedown left Kid Rock’s Scam The Country festival, and the fallout is still comingArch Enemy still working with Angela Gossow, but not as a singerTOOL might be hitting a residency at the Las Vegas SphereThe never ending Kurt Cobain theories and researchChuck Billy and Testament want to work with MetallicaUpcoming albums/tours/moreSONG OF THE WEEK: Converge “Bad Faith” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZv3ZbyZfoE“With the announcement of Shinedown’s new single, album and tour, frontman Brent Smith did an interview with Rolling Stone and was asked about their decision to drop off Kid Rock’s “Rock The Country” festival tour. Originally Shinedown was set to play the Anderson, SC date, but they dropped off because they didn’t want to “participate in something we believe will create further division.” Shortly after, that entire date of the tour was canceled. Speaking to Rolling Stone, Smith further addressed the decision saying: “We saw infighting that we had never seen before, and for us, it was our job to diffuse it. There were certain people that were not happy about [pulling back.] I will say that there was an overwhelming amount of people that agreed with the decision.… You’re entitled to your opinion 1,000 percent in this country, and that’s one of the beautiful things about it.” (Rolling Stone)Hosted by: Luke = https://www.youtube.com/@rockednet Alex = https://www.youtube.com/@voiceofalex
