Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On October 11, 2007, Live Nation Worldwide, Inc. (the "Company"), a subsidiary of Live Nation, Inc. ("Live Nation"), entered into a music-related rights agreement (the "Agreement") with a company furnishing the services of Madonna pursuant to which Live Nation will issue 1,174,371 shares of its common stock, with an aggregate value of $25 million as determined by the Agreement.

The shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and were issued in reliance upon the exemptions from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D. The Agreement contained representations from the holder of the shares, an entity controlled by Madonna, to support the Company's reasonable belief that the holder acquired the shares for its own account and not with a view to distribution, and that the holder is an "accredited investor" as defined in Regulation D.
