The U.S. Justice Department announced it has reached a tentative settlement with Live Nation and Ticketmaster in its antitrust lawsuit alleging the companies maintained an illegal monopoly over the live events industry. The agreement was disclosed at the start of trial proceedings in federal court, drawing sharp criticism from the presiding judge for the timing of the announcement. Some state attorneys general may continue pursuing action independently.

The Breakdown:

• Antitrust allegations: DOJ accused Live Nation of suppressing competition
• Settlement framework: Tentative deal announced at start of trial
• Judicial frustration: Court criticized late notification of agreement

The Angle: Even a settlement won't erase scrutiny. The case underscores growing pressure on dominant entertainment platforms to open up competition and lower costs for consumers.

Everyone floods Cerro Concepción and Cerro Alegre, but locals climb Cerro Bellavista where Pablo Neruda's La Sebastiana house overlooks the bay and street art feels less curated.

For beach escape, Concón (30 minutes north) provides sand dunes and surf breaks, while Viña del Mar next door offers upscale beach resort contrast. Winter secret?
