Fusion42 · 20 July 2026 · Fusion42 review

The UK Competition and Markets Authority is preparing an investigation into Live Nation's market dominance in ticketing and live events, signalling potential antitrust action against the concert promoter and ticketing giant.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Music Tech, and 2 sources have reported it.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

If you sell tickets, venue software, or artist services in the UK, Live Nation's legal risk just became your market opening. A CMA investigation typically ends with forced divestitures or structural remedies—meaning Live Nation will have to sell assets or business lines.
