RADNOR, Pa., May 26, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kaskela Law LLC alerts Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE:LYV) (“Live Nation” or the “Company”) investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of purchasers of the Company’s securities between February 23, 2017 and March 30, 2018, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

DEADLINE ALERT: Investors who purchased Live Nation securities during the Class Period may, no later than June 18, 2018, seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the investor class. Live Nation investors are encouraged to contact Kaskela Law LLC (D. Seamus Kaskela, Esq.) at (484) 258–1585 or (888) 715–1740 to discuss their legal rights and options or visit www.kaskelalaw.com/case/live-nation-entertainment-inc/ for additional information.

Live Nation produces live concerts and sells tickets to those events over the internet. The Company owns and operates over 195 venues throughout the world, and the Company significantly expanded its ticketing services with the purchase of Ticketmaster Entertainment (“Ticketmaster”) in 2010. In order to acquire Ticketmaster, Live Nation agreed to the terms of an antitrust consent decree with the Department of Justice (the “Consent Decree”). The Consent Decree contained specific rules to prevent the Company from monopolizing live music promotion and ticketing.

On April 1, 2018, after the close of the market, The New York Times published an article alleging that the Company had failed to abide by the terms of the Consent Decree aimed to prevent Live Nation from monopolizing the market for live musical performances. Following this news, shares of the Company’s stock fell $3.97 per share, or 9.4%, to close on April 2, 2018 at $38.17 per share.

The shareholder class action complaint alleges that Live Nation and certain of its senior executive officers made false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose to investors that: (i) that the Company failed to abide by the terms of the Consent Decree; and (ii) the Company lacked adequate internal controls to prevent a violation of the Consent Decree. The complaint further alleges that, as a result of the foregoing, investors purchased Live Nation’s common stock at artificially inflated prices during the Class Period and sustained significant investment losses when the truth was revealed.

Live Nation investors are encouraged to contact Kaskela Law LLC (D. Seamus Kaskela, Esq.) at (484) 258–1585 or (888) 715–1740 to discuss their legal rights and options or visit www.kaskelalaw.com/case/live-nation-entertainment-inc/ for additional information about this action prior to June 18, 2018
