    Live Nation has purchased the majority stake in live streaming platform Veeps, which was co-founded by Good Charlotte’s Madden brothers:

    “The idea of working together through this partnership was already kind of a natural and organic thing that was always happening. We’ve worked so closely and over the last decade or so with Live Nation in so many different ways,” Veeps co-founder Joel Madden, also a founding member of pop punk band Good Charlotte, tells Rolling Stone. “Live Nation is genuinely interested in exploring how they approach livestreaming. And I think that they were open to a lot of things.”

    Veeps has always been nice to me as an unsigned artist. Exciting for the Madden Brothers. Between this and their Mddn Co management they’ve grown to be a desired team to work with.

    Wiping brings down the rainforest

    I'm happy for them and agree, bring on the new music... but I'm extremely apprehensive about live nation gobbling up yet another medium for their near monopoly on live entertainment.

    Wouldn't be surprised if they sneak in a "live fee" in their ticket prices once bands start touring again.

    For sure there will be a "Streaming convenience fee"
