Today's Headlines: The Wall Street Journal revealed that Trump personally called a senior DOJ official to settle the antitrust lawsuit against Live Nation — days before trial, after Live Nation's CEO met with Trump at the White House to "discuss Kennedy Center bookings". Live Nation reportedly promised $10 billion in US investment in exchange for a favorable settlement so generous that most states refused to join it and kept suing, ultimately winning a jury verdict in April finding Live Nation illegally monopolizing the concert ticketing market. The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to let Trump's mail-in voting restrictions move forward — not on whether they're constitutional, but on whether states had legal standing to sue — meaning DHS is now distributing citizenship lists to states and the Postal Service will only send ballots to pre-approved voters, with each state left to decide whether to comply before the Court rules on the actual merits, which is a convenient timeline heading into November. The Court also let Trump's ballroom-bunker construction continue while they decide whether it can continue. Yes, you read that right. On the immigration beat, the Trump administration is planning the largest mass visa revocation in US history, targeting up to 200,000 B1 and B2 visas held by asylum seekers issued between 2016 and 2026. And because somehow we are still at war with Iran even after “winning” several times, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent held an event threatening any country that does business with Iran with "the full reach of American power" under something called Operation Economic Outcast, without specifying any actual steps or deadlines, while Iran's trading partners apparently told them they don't really care. And finally, today is the South Carolina Senate runoff between Lindsey Graham's sister Darline — who refused to say whether she would have certified Biden's 2020 win — and Ralph Norman, with Trump's super PAC spending $800,000 on her behalf.  Resources/Articles mentioned: WSJ: The Trump Intervention That Got the DOJ Off Live Nation's Back Axios: Trump says communities that oppose data centers are "making a mistake" NBC News: Supreme Court sides with Trump on some restrictions for mail-in ballots WaPo: Supreme Court eases path for Trump's sweeping limits on mail-in balloting Time: The Supreme Court Let Trump's Ballroom Proceed—for Now.

There's been a verdict in the Live Nation/Ticketmaster antitrust case. So what happens now?Matt Ford sits down again with artist manager and industry operator Randy Nichols to unpack what the jury's monopoly verdict actually means, why the case is still far from over, and what a potential breakup of Live Nation and Ticketmaster could really look like.They also dig into another major fight unfolding in ticketing: speculative ticketing and the secondary market. Randy shares his firsthand experience testifying in California in support of legislation targeting speculative ticket sales and breaks down his concerns about StubHub, including speculative listings for major events like FIFA and the conflicts he sees within the secondary ticketing market.Episode Timestamps:(2:20) What Actually Swung the Live Nation JuryHow one explosive phrase became the emotional center of the case and shaped the jury's perception.(11:20) “Blue Dot Fever” and the Reality of Soft ToursAre arena tours actually struggling, or is the panic around unsold seats missing the bigger picture?(17:20) Ticket Prices Are Becoming a Barrier to FandomWhy increasingly expensive nights out could threaten the industry's ability to build the next generation of lifelong fans.(32:35) What the Live Nation Verdict Actually MeansWhat happens after a monopoly verdict, from potential remedies to years of legal challenges and appeals.(44:45) Would Breaking Up Live Nation Actually Lower Ticket Prices?Why a breakup may make for a compelling political win without necessarily making concerts cheaper.(55:30) Could Ticketmaster Be More Powerful on Its Own?The surprising argument that separating Ticketmaster from Live Nation could actually expand its reach.(1:08:00) The Fight Over Spec Ticketing and Resale Price CapsRandy shares why he testified in California and what proposed ticketing legislation could change.(1:15:20) StubHub, Spec Tickets, and the FIFA MessA look at speculative ticket listings, platform accountability, and Randy's own test listing a nonexistent FIFA ticket.(1:27:20) Why Spec Bans Could Matter More Than a Live Nation BreakupRandy makes the case that limiting scalper arbitrage could do more for ticket prices than breaking up Live Nation.(1:33:40) Dynamic Pricing and a Potential Grand BargainIf the industry eliminates industrial scalping, should primary ticketing platforms give up dynamic pricing too?Please share this with anyone that might be interested in the topics, links below to subscribe and stay in the loop with the podcast and Prism:Subscribe ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠More on⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Prism⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on Instagram (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@prismfm⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)Follow us on LinkedIn (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)Meet the Podcast Host/CEO of Prism -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Matt Ford⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Opening Music -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Banana Bread - Layton.rx⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Prism engineer!)

Your weekly guide to the music biz and how it all works. This week, Stu and Joe wade into share prices, EU Law, and German legal judgements... NO WAIT, COME BACK! These are all actually really interesting insights into modern pop music and how it connects with the humans who make it and enjoy it (honest.)Plus, TPOM Superfans get to hear Joe and Stu go deep – some may say too deep – into minor league Welsh football clubs seeking musical sponsorship opportunities. In this week's show:Universal Music Group is worth now than it was at the start of this year, based on its share price, and Spotify wobbled too… so why are people wondering whether music may not be making as much money as it could - and what is Spotify up to with independent labels?Welsh Ardal League South East football club Cwmbran Celtic have some new shirts for sale. Why are we telling you about this? Well, they feature some bands you might know…We need to talk about ‘Rubberz'. No, not erasers and – for our American listeners – not condoms either… it's an (allegedly!!!) AI-generated song that is becoming a cross-over hit.There's a lot going on with AI-music company Suno at the moment: a big legal ruling in Germany; its latest promises about how much it supports human artistry; and a very unexpected move into… vinyl!Two things that music publications BrooklynVegan, AltPress, Goldmine and Revolver have in common: first, they're all owned by Live Nation, which many people didn't realise. And second, “nearly all” their staff have reportedly been laid off. Is this the final nail in the coffin for music journalism?LISTENER LETTERS: after last week's Lock-In look at expensive Discogs records sales, James The Joiner gets in touch about his weirdly and unfortunately mis-pressed Blur LP – so will it be worth LOADS of money or NOT MUCH AT ALL? We investigate.And in the special post-show lock-in section just for our ⁠⁠Patreon Superfans⁠⁠, Stu and Joe prop themselves up at the bar – in this week's bonus material: Mold Alexandra, Cefn Druids and Mumbles Rangers: what other rock/Welsh football sponsorships would you like to see? Who needs MTV when you can have Green Day TV? Although the lineup of artists featured is, well, quite a lot smaller than traditional music-TV channels…We've been talking about prediction-market Kalshi in recent episodes, and it turns out they're also betting on Spotify's financial results… [we also check if they were right.]===================================As ever, we welcome your feedback, emails and – in particular – any questions you might have about how the music biz works!Email us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠thepriceofmusicpodcast@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠See you next week!Stuart and Joe======TPOM online: ⁠http://tpom.uk/⁠Support The Price of Music on Patreon:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/ThePriceofMusic⁠⁠⁠Follow Stuart on X - @stuartdredgeFollow The Price of Music on X - @PriceofMusicpodFor sponsorship opportunities, please email - ⁠⁠⁠joe@musically.com⁠

People magazine reports that Kelly Osbourne and Sid Wilson have ended their engagement — Scott Penfold explains why this isn't new, why it isn't connected to the Slipknot situation no matter how the timing looks, and what's actually changed this week. Plus Mercyful Fate announce their first live show in over three years, headed to Leyendas Del Rock in Spain in August 2027 with King Diamond, Hank Shermann, Mike Wead, Bjarne T. Holm and Becky Baldwin — and their long-awaited album still hasn't surfaced. And a harder one to close on: Veeps and Live Nation have gutted Revolver, Alternative Press, BrooklynVegan and Goldmine, with allegations now surfacing from a former employee about workplace treatment. A word about the people who write the things you read, and what it costs when they're gone.

In this episode we invite the pioneering Geoffrey Cannon to reminisce about his stint as The Guardian's rock critic between 1968 and 1972. Commencing with the pop baptism of his first hearing Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers in a Horsham record booth in 1956, our guest talks us through his early work for New Society and The Listener — including his prescient reviews of albums by the Velvet Underground and the Mothers of Invention. He also explains how the 1969 Granada film Johnny Cash at San Quentin came about. Geoffrey then recounts how he pitched a weekly rock column to Guardian editor Peter Preston, and how he sustained it from late 1968 until 1972 while simultaneously editing the Radio Times. Clips from the late Pete Makowski's 2008 audio interview with Jack Bruce give us a chance to discuss the origins of Cream, and how the relative innocence of the '60s collapsed into the druggy decadence of the '70s. The conversation with Geoffrey concludes with our guest's post-rock adventures in writing about health and nutrition, plus his 2000 uprooting to Brazil and subsequent love of singers such as Belchior and Caetano Veloso. Finally, William and Jasper talk us out with their thoughts on articles about Ornette Coleman (1969), Plastic Bertrand (1978), Jools Holland (2004) and James Blake (2025). Many thanks to special guest Geoffrey Cannon. Pieces discussed: Pop Music Democratised, Mother's Rites: Freak Out/Absolutely Free, Aesthetics of Outrage, Johnny Cash at San Quentin was my idea, Jack Bruce audio, Plastic Bertrand, Jools Holland, Second opinion: Ornette Coleman and James Blake is taking on TikTok, Live Nation and 'Free Music'.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to introduce you all to: Sexual assault survivor, whistleblower and overcomer, Frontwoman, singer and songwriter for the band Wisher, loving fiancee to Noah, black belt badass, belly dancing goddess, workout fanatic, creative writer, artist and poet, Pirates of the Caribbean devottee, animal lover, Pokemon card collector, special effect and set building aficionado, former Jane from Tarzan, recovering alcoholic and sobriety champion, and an incredible young woman breaking her silence for the first time today: Kayleigh KAnnA little bit about Kayleigh and what we will be discussing today: Born with dreams that refused to stay small, young Kayleigh scribbled “singer” on those childhood “what I want to be” papers. Music was never a hobby - it was destiny written in her bones. Today, as the ethereal yet thunderous voice of Wisher, Kayleigh channels that calling into symphonic metal that blends the grandeur of Nightwish, the cinematic sweep of Hans Zimmer, and the heavy fire of Avenged Sevenfold. Their music is raw, evolving, and deeply human: shorter, sharper tracks like “Aqua Devita” that feel like emotional release, harmony-laden guitars that soar like choirs, and live shows where Kayleigh performs as if every modest venue is Live Aid. She closes her eyes, sees thousands, spins, jumps, and pours out her soul - because the stage is her haven, her zone, and her way of sharing joy no matter if two people or two thousand adoring fans stand before her.Wisher itself tells a story of growth and chosen family. After years of lineup changes and compromise, the current steadfast crew of Wisher jams from the heart - meshing whimsical wonder with crushing riffs, and prioritizing real connection over perfection. The band's journey mirrors Kayleigh's own: honest, theatrical, a little intense, and utterly authentic. They've turned bar stages and club nights into sacred spaces of celebration, even when life throws emergencies, health struggles, or industry hurdles their way. Kayleigh leads with love, canceling shows if a bandmate needs care - always choosing mental health and family over deadlines, because she knows what truly matters.Yet Kayleigh's light shines brightest against the shadows. She has looked unflinchingly at the entertainment industry's underbelly - its documented ties to exploitation and human trafficking - and refused to dim her own path. A survivor herself who carries the weight of knowing too much, she re-evaluated her dreams rather than selling her soul for fame. She speaks openly about the darkness: artists lost, survivors silenced, monopolies like Live Nation squeezing out local voices, and the ethical cost of “success.” Her response? Double down on integrity, support real artists who build with heart and entrepreneurship, treat music as ministry, prioritize purpose over profit, and fiercely protect what is sacred.And on today's show, Kayleigh will be breaking the silence on her own story of survival - a life-altering, traumatic event and aftermath that changed her life forever. A testimony of ultimate betrayal by people she loved, trusted, and cared deeply about. And together, we will be taking off the heavy layers of guilt and shame that have weighted heavy on her heart and soul for many years, and shedding them - handing them back to those who caused the betrayal that was never supposed to happen. Kayleigh has spent years advocating for others - she has loudly been cheering on the survivor community - learning, educating others, and being an incredible ally - all while silently harboring a testimony of her own. And today that silence breaks. Today, a bright light gets shined on the darkness. And today, Kayleigh's voice expands from singing on stages and her online advocacy, and into the eyes and ears of those ready to bear witness to her own story of overcoming. Today, she passes the torch she has received from other survivors in her own healing journey to all of you here with us today. Kayleigh is proof that survivors don't just endure - they rise, they sing, they uplift. In her music and her message, she hands us back our own light: the reminder that we all have a soul, a purpose, and the power to create beauty anyway. She is living testimony that no matter what you've survived, your voice can still shake the world with love.

DOCKET ALERTS:   War Powers Resolution fails in both Houses of Congress.   DHS is ramping up for an immigration surge in Maryland and has purchased an 825,000-square-foot warehouse in Hagerstown. The state is suing to block the facility on environmental grounds. In Baltimore, Judge Julie Rubin joins judges in New York and Los Angeles in holding that ICE is systematically violating the Fifth Amendment rights of immigrants in "temporary" detention by holding them for days on end without hygiene, medical care, or access to counsel.   Kalshi customers have filed a class action suit over the company's refusal to pay out on bets — oops, we mean CONTRACT SWAPS — that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei would leave office as Supreme Leader of Iran before March 1.   Trump continues to defy the Constitution's requirement that he get Senate approval for principal officers. We discussed it in our post on Judge Lamberth holding that Kari Lake was never legally serving as head of the US Agency for Global Media, and thus her directives are null and void. And Judge Matthew Brann has ruled once again that Attorney General Pam Bondi can't evade senate confirmation for the US Attorney in New Jersey — no, not even if she spreads the appointment out among three lawyers, not just one.    And we'll talk about the Trump administration's humiliating U-turn as it tries to un-dismiss the appeal in the case of the executive orders targeting law firms, as well as Anthropic's complaint against the government. Turns out, defying Trump can be good for business!   Subscriber Bonus: The Trump administration just dismissed the antitrust suit against Live Nation mid-trial for, uh, reasons.    ICE awards $113 million to build out Hagerstown detention center https://www.thebanner.com/politics-power/national-politics/ice-hagerstown-detention-center-contract-AHIV2KEHQJAVFMWBYKO2YBWOCU/   Maryland v.

DOCKET ALERTS:   Kash Patel brings UFC to FBI. WTF???   A federal judge in Maryland issued a TRO blocking the construction of an ICE detention facility without first undertaking the legally required environmental impact assessment.   The Trump administration filed an "emergency" petition to the Supreme Court demanding that it be allowed to immediately deport 350,000 Haitians who have enjoyed Temporary Protected Status for decades. It insists an earlier shadow docket ruling allowing it to deport Venezuelan TPS holders is precedential. An amicus brief from 175 former judges points out that shadow docket orders are definitionally non-precedential.   The USDA is teaming up with Robert Kennedy and his team of freaks at Health and Human Services to Make America Healthy Again … by shaming poor people for their food choices. SNAP recipients sued in DC to block a "pilot" program to allow states to restrict food benefits to exclude sugary foods.   MAIN SHOW:   DOGE destroyed the National Endowment for the Humanities in three weeks last spring. We wrote about it on the blog, and discussed the ongoing litigation. Turns out, the DOGE dudes are pissed that the plaintiffs released video of them smirking their way through depositions.   On Monday, in the middle of trial, the Trump administration tried to blow up the antitrust lawsuit against Live Nation, the parent company of Ticketmaster. This leaves the 40 states which joined the suit as co-plaintiffs in the lurch. Judge Arun Subramanian has ordered the parties to huddle up and see if they can't negotiate a settlement. Will the case go forward next week without the lead plaintiff?   And Andrew has an extended exploration of Trump's plan to use a little known federal agency called the United States International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) to get oil tankers to cross the Strait of Hormuz. The DFC has released a plan (or at least, concepts of a plan) to reinsure insurance companies that issue war riders. Which might help if insurance companies were refusing to issue policies to ships at sea – except that insurance companies are still underwriting as many marine policies as ever. It's just that it costs more now, because of the war.   Plus for subscribers, we'll break down the bar complaint against fan favorite Ed Martin.   Kash Patel Confirms UFC Fighters Will Train FBI Agents This Week, Calling It A "Historic Opportunity" https://deadline.com/2026/03/kash-patel-ufc-fighters-train-fbi-agents-1236750897/   State of Maryland v.

DOCKET ALERTS:   The Supreme Court rebuffed the Trump Administration's "emergency" request to revoke temporary protected status for half a million Haitian and Syrian nationals. It granted cert before judgment and set oral argument for April.   The DOJ dropped charges against Jay Carey, a veteran who burned a flag in Lafayette Park to protest Trump's executive order purporting to ban flag-burning.   In Massachusetts, Judge Brian Murphy blocked HHS Secretary Kennedy's attempt to rewrite the child and adult vaccine schedules.   And the Justice Department keeps lowering the bar in an effort to get lawyers willing to sign on to burn down their reputations in service of the Trump agenda.   MAIN SHOW:   We discuss US Attorney for DC Jeanine Pirro's crashout over the implosion of her retaliatory investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Judge Boasberg quashed the subpoenas, saying that there was no reason at all to think Powell committed a crime.   The Judicial Conference is making it slightly easier for criminal defendants to secure representation. They're also going to war with the General Services Administration, the world's worst landlord.   The Live Nation trial continues, without the government. Andrew's got a deep dive into the Tunney Act and a similar antitrust case blown up by the Trump DOJ under pressure from well-connected lobbyists. These people made us agree with Laura Loomer — RUDE!

DOCKET ALERTS:   The lady who wore a penis costume to a No Kings protest in Fairhope, Alabama was acquitted of disturbing the peace.   DNI Tulsi Gabbard referred the Ukraine Whistleblower and former Intelligence Community Inspector General to the DOJ for criminal prosecution. Crime: TBD.   US Attorney for DC Jeanine Pirro continues to harass the Federal Reserve. This time she sent prosecutors to bang on the door demanding to inspect the ongoing renovations.   The Trump administration uses the threat of administrative sanctions to force changes it can't get from Congress or the courts. The Justice Department extorted $17 million from IBM — which just so happens to have billions of dollars in government contracts! — for committing DEI "fraud." And the FTC forced brand advisers to agree not to "discriminate" against conservative media outlets.   On a more positive note, a judge in Maryland continues to block the ICE facility being constructed in the state, and Judge Richard Leon put the kibosh on Trump's ballroom … again.   MAIN SHOW:   A jury slapped Live Nation and Ticket Master in the antitrust lawsuit filed in New York. The feds noped out two days into trial, but the states who picked up the baton and ran with it. The jurors found the company liable on all counts. We talk about the ins and outs of the decision and some pending legal questions still waiting for resolution.    We also break down a new lawsuit brought by a lawful resident of Maine with no criminal record who was seized by ICE during "Operation Catch of the Day" and brutalized. Can he sue under the Maine Civil Rights Act?

Oh, and Jill Biden is doing press for her new book. We have thoughts. From there, we're checking in on our 2026 predictions, then catching up on stories we've been tracking: a jury found Live Nation acted as a monopoly, Ticketmaster's president admitted the queue isn't randomized (lol), and listener John asked us to dig into FIFA — so we went in on corruption, Qatar, migrant worker deaths, and whether we're personally watching the World Cup. We've also got a great mailbag this week — a listener used the confessional to blow the whistle on the current Ebola outbreak, a dispatch on government protests in Ireland from a Gen Z/Alpha listener on the ground, and a beautiful email about grandparents secretly canceling each other out with rogue baptisms.

For years, music fans have said they felt ripped off by Ticketmaster and Live Nation, its parent company. Last week, a jury ruled that they were right, and that the company is a monopoly.
