Live Nation is disputing claims of a settlement in a lawsuit regarding Madonna's allegedly late concert start times. The conflict emerged after plaintiffs filed a settlement notice, which Live Nation says is false and unauthorized.

The case involves multiple class-action complaints filed against Madonna and Live Nation, with the first appearing in a New York federal court in early 2024, followed by a similar suit in Washington, D.C., in late April.

Key developments in the dispute:

• Plaintiffs submitted a settlement notice on Friday, claiming parties had reached an agreement
• Live Nation's attorneys state no settlement was reached
• The company claims only preliminary settlement discussions occurred in late May
• Live Nation alleges plaintiffs' counsel filed a "false" settlement notice without adequate response time

Live Nation is now requesting the court to:

• Strike the settlement notice
• Order plaintiffs to pay legal fees
• Consider additional appropriate relief

While Live Nation expressed openness to settlement under certain terms, they stated they "will not be harassed into settlement and cannot abide false statements."

The plaintiffs have until July 1st to respond to the defendants' motion to dismiss the complaint.
