Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On December 12, 2006, Live Nation, Inc.’s ("Live Nation") Board of Directors (the "Board") increased the size of the Board from ten to twelve directors, and elected Robert Ted Enloe, III as a Class II director and Harvey Weinstein as a Class III director to fill the resulting vacancies. Mr. Enloe's and Mr. Weinstein’s terms will expire at Live Nation's annual meetings of stockholders in 2008 and 2009, respectively. Mr. Enloe and Mr. Weinstein have not been appointed to any Board committees, nor are they expected to be so appointed at this time.

Mr. Enloe has been Managing General Partner of Balquita Partners, Ltd., a family securities and real estate investment partnership, since 1996, and he currently serves on the corporate boards at Leggett & Platt Inc. and Silicon Laboratories Inc., and is a board member and audit committee chairman for US Investigations Services Inc. Mr. Enloe’s former positions include vice chairman of the board and member of the office of chief executive for Compaq Computer Corporation and president of Lomas Financial Corporation and Liberte Investors. Also, Mr. Enloe previously served on the board of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, and La Quinta Motor Inns Inc.

Mr. Weinstein is Co-Chairman of The Weinstein Company, which was founded in October 2005. Widely recognized as an icon of independent film production, Mr. Weinstein founded Miramax Films in 1979 with his brother Bob. Under Harvey and Bob’s leadership, Miramax Films released some of the most critically acclaimed and commercially successful independent feature films in history, including sixteen Best Picture nominations over a span of fifteen years.

There is no arrangement or understanding between either Mr. Enloe or Mr. Weinstein and any other person pursuant to which either Mr. Enloe or Mr. Weinstein was elected as a director. There are no transactions in which Mr. Enloe or Mr. Weinstein has an interest requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

On December 14, 2006, Live Nation issued press releases announcing the elections of Mr. Enloe and Mr. Weinstein to the Board. Copies of those press releases are filed as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
