A federal judge has officially dismissed a lawsuit against Madonna and Live Nation over concert start time delays, though the case may have additional financial implications for the plaintiffs.

The dismissal comes after a series of legal exchanges between the parties involved. While plaintiffs initially filed a notice claiming a joint settlement agreement, Live Nation's legal team contested this claim, stating no settlement had been reached.

Key Developments:

• The court struck down the initial settlement notice following a telephone conference
• Plaintiffs submitted a voluntary dismissal with prejudice
• Live Nation contests the plaintiffs' position that each party should bear its own fees
• Live Nation's attorneys label the action a "frivolous strike suit" designed to force legal expenses
• The court retained the right to impose sanctions in its dismissal order

A parallel lawsuit with similar allegations continues in Washington, D.C., involving at least one of the same attorneys.

Live Nation's legal team maintains they may pursue sanctions, attorneys' fees, and costs, characterizing the lawsuit as an attempt to generate unnecessary legal expenses rather than address legitimate concerns.

The case number is 1:24-cv-00357.
