Court filings reveal Donald Trump talked to Live Nation chief Michael Rapino a few days ahead of the Justice Department settled that antitrust case. The settlement ended a long probe into the promoter’s market power. Live Nation still faces a UK and European antitrust trial that is set to begin later this year.
The promoter’s influence appears in upcoming tour news. Keni Titus will open for Role Model and Polyphia on their 2026 world tours, such as dates in the UK and Europe. In Abu Dhabi, Etihad Park has been renamed Etihad Live as part of a revamp aimed at larger live‑music events.
