“What’s so important about this case, is truly holding Live Nation accountable for their complete lack of security, and the history of violence and shootings and drug overdoes, etc., at Live Nation venues across the globe, is truly astounding,” plaintiffs’ attorney Spencer Lucas of Panish Shea Ravipudi, in Los Angeles, said.

       

Live Nation has been hit with a wrongful death lawsuit after two concert goers were allegedly shot and killed by a fellow attendee during the June 2023 Beyond Wonderland festival at The Gorge in Washington state.

The families of two Seattle nurses, Brandy Escamilla and Josilyn Ruiz, filed suit against Live Nation, its subsidiary Insomniac Holdings, and security companies working the event, looking to hold the entities accountable after the two women were fatally shot at the event’s campgrounds, according to the April 10 complaint, filed in Washington’s King County Superior Court by attorneys with Panish Shea Ravipudi, Boyle Law and PWRFL.
