Here’s the latest I can share based on recent public reporting:
UK legal action against Live Nation (Music) UK Ltd has featured in UK trade press, with PRS for Music and PPL PRS Limited pursuing claims alleging under-reporting of full ticket prices for VIP packages, potentially affecting songwriter royalties. This case highlights ongoing regulatory scrutiny of Live Nation’s reporting practices in the UK, though outcomes were not final as of the latest reports.[1]

Industry coverage through late 2025 and 2026 continued to report on scrutiny of Live Nation’s market power, including calls for investigations by bodies like the CMA in the UK and commentary on potential impacts for competition and ticket pricing in the sector.[7]
