The Association of Independent Festivals (AIF) has called for the breakup of Live Nation. "Our data showed that Live Nation and affiliated companies control the majority of arena, stadium and outdoor concert tickets in 2025," the Instagram post said. Live Nation control 66.4%." The post goes on to highlight that Live Nation control 75% of the shows at Manchester's Co-Op Live arena in September alone, arguing that this is not an example of "fair competition". The move comes just months after the AIF called on the UK's Competition and Markets Authority to investigate business practices carried out by Live Nation.
