The Department of Justice has filed a federal lawsuit that accuses Ticketmaster and its parent company Live Nation of illegally monopolizing the live entertainment industry to the detriment of concertgoers and artists alike.

The U.K.’s Parliamentary trade committee has urged the Competition and Markets Authority to investigate the live music industry as a matter of urgency, saying that Live Nation operates in a “climate of fear.”

The House of Commons Business and Trade Committee, a cross-party group made of MPs from both sides of the aisle, launched an inquiry into the U.K.’s live music industry market last December.
