On Wednesday, the states pressing to break up Live Nation will rest their case in Manhattan federal court, concluding a years-long, herculean effort to prove that the ticketing and concert promotion company ran an illegal monopoly. In a surreal twist, the Trump administration already threw in the towel earlier this month, when a visibly startled Justice Department lawyer informed an equally startled judge that they had apparently reached a settlement that would allow Live Nation to keep Ticketmaster. Some state attorneys general took the cue and claimed a share of the $200 million payout. But 32 others—including New York, Florida, and Texas, along with the District of Columbia—are still fighting on, bringing in fearsome antitrust litigator Jeffrey Kessler and hoping for a result that could appease the Swifties.
