“I am concerned that the music industry is broken,” Messina wrote in his submission.
“If it is not fixed, I could go out of business just like other independent promoters who have fallen victim to Live Nation. The jury verdict in this case is a step in the right direction and will give the court an opportunity to try to reign in Live Nation’s conduct. But the consent decree is a step backward—it does not fix the industry and likely would make things worse.”

CORRECTION:
Per a 2025 Live Nation SEC filing: "All lawsuits relating to Astroworld have been resolved since early 2025. We incurred losses in excess of our insurance recovery in connection with those lawsuits." sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/…
Did you know that over 2,000 personal injury cases are still pending against Live Nation et al from Travis Scott's Astroworld Festival crowd crush incident in 2021? Of course you didn't.
That's the beauty of a Judge's gag order.
