A New Jersey pol is demanding concert promoter Live Nation be broken up, claiming its monopolistic chokehold on the industry created safety issues that helped lead to the Dave Chappelle attack and Astroworld tragedy.“About 200 deaths and 750 injuries occurred at Live Nation events since 2006,” Democratic Congressman Bill Pascrell recently told The Post. “Have safety measures not improved? Has Live Nation silenced organizers? I want answers. I think the public deserves to know.”In March, the rep wrote to the Federal Trade Commission and Department of Justice calling for it to be easier to overturn mergers. He says the 2010 marriage between Live Nation and Ticketmaster was terrible for competition — and for safety at their events.
