Interesting development this ,could have huge ramifications for gigs in Ireland and LiveNations/Ticketmasters monopoly here.

The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission has announced that it is to launch a detailed investigation into the planned acquisition of gig group MCD by a joint venture involving international music giant Live Nation.

The CCPC last night said that, following a preliminary investigation, it has decided that a full investigation is required "to establish if the proposed transaction could lead to a substantial lessening of competition in any market for goods or services in the State".
