NOTE: SIGNATURES MUST BE PROVIDED BELOW
PLEASE READ THE ACCOMPANYING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        The undersigned hereby tenders to LMC Events, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Purchaser") and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Liberty Media Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Liberty"), the above described common stock, par value $.01 per share, together with the associated stock purchase rights (collectively, the "Shares") of Live Nation Entertainment, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Live Nation"), pursuant to the Purchaser's offer to purchase up to 34,200,000 Shares for $12.00 net per Share, in cash, without interest and less applicable withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the offer to purchase dated February 1, 2010 (the "Offer to Purchase"), receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and in this letter of transmittal (this "Letter of Transmittal") (which, together with any amendments or supplements thereto or hereto, collectively constitute the "tender offer"). The tender offer expires at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 2, 2010, unless extended by the Purchaser as described in the Offer to Purchase (as extended, the "expiration date"). All references herein to the "Shares" shall be deemed to include the associated rights to purchase shares of Series A junior participating preferred stock of Live Nation issued pursuant to a stockholder rights plan adopted by Live Nation. By tendering your Shares in the tender offer, you will be deemed to have tendered the associated stock purchase rights without any further action on your part. The Purchaser reserves the right to transfer or assign, in whole or from time to time in part, to one or more of its affiliates the right to purchase Shares tendered pursuant to the tender offer, but any such transfer or assignment will not relieve the Purchaser of its obligations under the tender offer or prejudice the rights of the undersigned to receive payment for Shares validly tendered and accepted for payment.

        Subject to and effective on acceptance for payment of, and payment for, the Shares tendered herewith in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the tender offer, the undersigned hereby (1) sells, assigns and transfers to, or upon the order of, the Purchaser, all right, title and interest in and to all the Shares that are being tendered hereby that are so accepted and paid for; (2) orders the registration of any Shares tendered by book-entry transfer that are purchased under the tender offer to or upon the order of the Purchaser; and (3) irrevocably constitutes and appoints Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (the "depositary") the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact of the undersigned, with the full knowledge that the depositary also acts as the agent of the Purchaser, with full power of substitution (such power of attorney being an irrevocable power coupled with an interest), to the full extent of the undersigned's rights with respect to such Shares, to perform the following functions:

        The undersigned further understands and acknowledges that the tender offer will expire on the expiration date for the tender offer, unless extended or earlier terminated by the Purchaser.

[Corp Actions Voluntary—LMCC]

        The undersigned hereby covenants, represents and warrants to the Purchaser that, in connection with its tender of the Shares indicated in the box above:

        The undersigned hereby irrevocably appoints Charles Y. Tanabe and Christopher W. Shean, and each of them, and any other designees of the Purchaser, the attorneys-in-fact and proxies of the undersigned, each with full power of substitution, to exercise all voting and other rights of the undersigned in such manner as each such attorney-in-fact and proxy or his or her substitute shall in his or her sole discretion determine, with respect to all of the Shares tendered hereby that have been accepted for payment by the Purchaser prior to the time of any vote or other action (and any and all other Shares or other securities issued or issuable in respect thereof on or after February 1, 2010), at any meeting of stockholders of Live Nation (whether annual or special and whether or not an adjourned meeting), by written consent or otherwise. This proxy is irrevocable and is granted in consideration of, and is effective upon, the acceptance for payment of such Shares by the Purchaser in accordance with the terms of the tender offer. Such acceptance for payment shall revoke any other power of attorney, proxy or written consent granted by the undersigned at any time with respect to such Shares (and all such other Shares or securities), and no subsequent power of attorney or proxies will be given or written consents will be executed by the undersigned (and if given or executed, will not be deemed to be effective).

        The undersigned understands that the Purchaser's acceptance of the Shares tendered pursuant to the procedures described in Section 2 ("Procedures for Tendering Shares") of the Offer to Purchase and in the instructions to this Letter of Transmittal will constitute a binding agreement between the undersigned and the Purchaser upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the tender offer (and if the tender offer is extended or amended, the terms or conditions of any such extension or amendment).

        The undersigned recognizes that under the circumstances set forth in the Offer to Purchase, the Purchaser may terminate or amend the tender offer, or may postpone the acceptance for payment of, or the payment for, Shares tendered, or may accept for payment fewer than all of the Shares tendered. The undersigned understands that (unless otherwise specified in the box entitled "Special Delivery Instructions" and/or "Special Payment Instructions" below) certificate(s) for any Shares not tendered or not purchased will be returned to the undersigned at the address indicated above or, in the case of Shares tendered through the book-entry transfer facility and not purchased, credited to the account at the book-entry transfer facility designated above.

THE CERTIFICATE NUMBERS, THE NUMBER OF SHARES REPRESENTED BY SUCH CERTIFICATES, AND THE NUMBER OF SHARES THAT THE UNDERSIGNED WISHES TO TENDER, SHOULD BE SET FORTH IN THE APPROPRIATE BOXES ABOVE.

        Unless otherwise indicated below in the box entitled "Special Payment Instructions," please issue the check for the aggregate purchase price with respect to any Shares purchased (less the amount of any applicable withholding tax), and/or return any Shares not tendered or not purchased, in the name(s) of the undersigned, or by credit to the account at the book-entry transfer facility designated above.

        The undersigned recognizes that the Purchaser has no obligation, under the Special Payment Instructions, to transfer any certificate for Shares from the name of its registered stockholder, or to order the registration or transfer of Shares tendered by book-entry transfer, if the Purchaser purchases none of the Shares represented by such certificate or tendered by such book-entry transfer.

        For purposes of the tender offer, the undersigned understands that the Purchaser will be deemed to have accepted for purchase validly tendered Shares, or defectively tendered Shares with respect to which the Purchaser has waived such defect, if, as and when the Purchaser gives oral or written notice thereof to the depositary.

        All authority conferred or agreed to be conferred pursuant to this Letter of Transmittal will survive the death or incapacity of the undersigned, and all obligations of the undersigned hereunder will be binding on the heirs, personal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, assigns, trustees in bankruptcy and legal representatives of the undersigned. Except as stated in the Offer to Purchase, this tender is irrevocable.

INSTRUCTIONS

Forming Part of the Terms and Conditions of the Tender Offer

        1.    Guarantee of Signatures.    Except as otherwise provided in this Instruction, all signatures on this Letter of Transmittal must be guaranteed by a financial institution that is a participant in the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program or a bank, broker, dealer, credit union, savings association or other entity which is an "eligible guarantor institution" as such term is defined in Rule 17Ad-15 under the Exchange Act (an "Eligible Institution"). Signatures on this Letter of Transmittal need not be guaranteed if either (a) this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the Shares (which term, for purposes of this Letter of Transmittal, shall include any participant in the book-entry transfer facility whose name appears on a security position listing as the owner of such Shares) tendered herewith and such holder(s) have not completed either the box entitled "Special Payment Instructions" or "Special Delivery Instructions" in this Letter of Transmittal; or (b) such Shares are tendered for the account of an Eligible Institution. See Instruction 5. You may also need to have any certificates you deliver endorsed or accompanied by a stock power, and the signatures on these documents may also need to be guaranteed. See Instruction 5.

        2.    Delivery of Letter of Transmittal and Certificates; Guaranteed Delivery Procedures.    You should use this Letter of Transmittal only if you are (a) forwarding certificates with this Letter of Transmittal, (b) going to deliver certificates under a notice of guaranteed delivery previously sent to the depositary, or (c) causing Shares to be delivered by book-entry transfer pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 2 ("Procedures for Tendering Shares") of the Offer to Purchase. In order for you to validly tender Shares, the depositary must receive certificates for all physically tendered Shares, or a confirmation of a book-entry transfer of all Shares delivered electronically into the depositary's account at the book-entry transfer facility, together in each case with a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal with any required signature guarantees, or an Agent's Message in connection with book-entry transfer, and any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal, at one of its addresses set forth in this Letter of Transmittal by the expiration date.

        The term "Agent's Message" means a message transmitted by the book-entry transfer facility to, and received by, the depositary, which states that the book-entry transfer facility has received an express acknowledgment from the participant in the book-entry transfer facility tendering the Shares that such participant has received and agrees to be bound by the terms of the letter of transmittal and that we may enforce such agreement against such participant.

        Guaranteed Delivery.    If you cannot deliver your Shares and all other required documents to the depositary by the Expiration Date, or the procedure for book-entry transfer cannot be completed on a timely basis, you may tender your Shares, pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedure described in Section 2 ("Procedures for Tendering Shares") of the Offer to Purchase, by or through any Eligible Institution. To comply with the guaranteed delivery procedure, you must (1) properly complete and duly execute a notice of guaranteed delivery substantially in the form provided to you by the Purchaser, specifying the price at which you are tendering your Shares, with any required signature guarantees, in the form set forth in the notice of guaranteed delivery; (2) arrange for the depositary to receive the notice of guaranteed delivery by the expiration date; and (3) ensure that the depositary receives the certificates for all physically tendered Shares or book-entry confirmation of electronic delivery of Shares, as the case may be, together with a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal with any required signature guarantees or an Agent's Message, and all other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal, within three trading days after receipt by the depositary of such notice of guaranteed delivery, all as provided in Section 2 ("Procedures for Tendering Shares") of the Offer to Purchase.

[Corp Actions Voluntary—LMCC]

9


        The notice of guaranteed delivery may be delivered by hand, facsimile transmission or certified mail to the depositary and must include, if necessary, a guarantee by an eligible guarantor institution in the form set forth in such notice. For Shares to be tendered validly under the guaranteed delivery procedure, the depositary must receive the notice of guaranteed delivery before the expiration date.

        THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF ALL DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING CERTIFICATES FOR SHARES, IS AT THE OPTION AND RISK OF THE TENDERING STOCKHOLDER. IF YOU CHOOSE TO DELIVER THE DOCUMENTS BY MAIL, WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU USE REGISTERED MAIL WITH RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, PROPERLY INSURED. IN ALL CASES, PLEASE ALLOW SUFFICIENT TIME TO ASSURE DELIVERY.

        Except as provided herein or in the Offer to Purchase, the Purchaser will not accept any alternative, conditional or contingent tenders, nor will it purchase any fractional Shares. By executing this Letter of Transmittal, you waive any right to receive any notice of the acceptance for payment of your tendered Shares.

        3.    Inadequate Space.    If the space provided in the box captioned "Description of Shares Tendered" is inadequate, then you should list the certificate numbers, the number of Shares represented by the certificate(s) and the number of Shares tendered with respect to each certificate on a separate signed schedule attached to this Letter of Transmittal.

        4.    Partial Tenders. (Not applicable to stockholders who tender by book-entry transfer.)    If fewer than all the shares represented by any certificate submitted to the depositary are to be tendered, fill in the number of Shares that are to be tendered in the box entitled "Number of Shares Tendered." In any such case, new certificate(s) for the remainder of the Shares that were evidenced by the old certificate(s) will be sent to the registered holder(s), unless otherwise provided in the appropriate box on this Letter of Transmittal, promptly after the acceptance for payment of, and payment for, the Shares tendered herewith. All Shares represented by certificates delivered to the depositary will be deemed to have been tendered unless otherwise indicated.

        5.    Signatures on Letter of Transmittal; Signature Guarantees.    

Exact Signature.  If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the Shares tendered hereby, the signature(s) must correspond with the name(s) written on the face of the certificate(s) without any change whatsoever.

Joint Holders.  If the Shares tendered are registered in the names of two or more persons, each such person must sign this Letter of Transmittal.

Multiple Certificates.  If any Shares tendered are registered in different names on several certificates, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate letters of transmittal as there are different registration of certificates.

Signatures of Fiduciaries.  If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, attorney-in-fact, officer of a corporation or any other person acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, that person should so indicate when signing and must submit to the depositary proper evidence satisfactory to the Purchaser of his or her authority to so act.

Endorsements.  If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the Shares tendered hereby, no endorsements of certificate(s) representing such Shares or separate stock powers are required unless payment of the purchase price for Shares is to be made, or the certificates for Shares not tendered or tendered but not purchased are to be issued, to a person other than the registered holder(s). SIGNATURE(S) ON ANY SUCH CERTIFICATE(S) OR STOCK POWERS MUST BE GUARANTEED BY AN ELIGIBLE INSTITUTION.

[Corp Actions Voluntary—LMCC]

10


Signed By or Payment to a Person Other than the Registered Holder.  If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered holder(s) of the Shares tendered hereby, or if payment is to be made to a person other than the registered holder(s), the certificate(s) representing such Shares must be endorsed for transfer or accompanied by appropriate stock powers, in either case, signed exactly as the name(s) of the registered holder(s) appear(s) on the certificate(s) for such Shares. SIGNATURE(S) ON ANY SUCH CERTIFICATE(S) OR STOCK POWERS MUST BE GUARANTEED BY AN ELIGIBLE INSTITUTION.

        6.    Stock Transfer Taxes.    Except as set forth in this Instruction 6, the Purchaser will pay or cause to be paid any transfer taxes with respect to the transfer and sale of Shares to it, or to its order, pursuant to the tender offer. If payment is to be made to, or if Shares not tendered or purchased are to be registered in the name of, any persons other than the registered owners, or if tendered Shares are registered in the name of any persons other than the persons signing this Letter of Transmittal, the amount of any transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered holder or such other person) payable on account of the transfer to such other person will be deducted from the payment unless satisfactory evidence of the payment of such taxes or exemption therefrom is submitted.

        7.    Special Payment and Delivery Instructions.    If any of the following conditions holds:

then, in each such case, you must complete the boxes captioned "Special Payment Instructions" and/or "Special Delivery Instructions" as applicable in this Letter of Transmittal and make sure that the signatures herein are guaranteed as described in Instructions 1 and 5.

        8.    Tax Identification Number and Backup Withholding.    Under the U.S. federal backup withholding rules, unless an exemption applies under the applicable law and regulations, the gross proceeds payable to a stockholder or other payee pursuant to the tender offer may be subject to U.S. federal backup withholding tax at the applicable rate (currently 28%). Backup withholding generally will apply if the recipient of such payment fails to provide its taxpayer identification number (employer identification number or social security number) to the depositary (as payer), certified under penalties of perjury, as well as certain other information or otherwise fails to establish an exemption from backup withholding. Therefore, each tendering stockholder that is a U.S. person (including a U.S. resident alien) should complete and sign the IRS Form W-9 enclosed with this Letter of Transmittal so as to provide the information and certification necessary to avoid backup withholding. If a correct taxpayer identification number is not provided to the depositary, the U.S. person may be subject to penalties imposed by the IRS.

        Certain stockholders (including, among others, all corporations and certain foreign persons) are not subject to backup withholding provided they have established to the satisfaction of the depositary their exemption. In order to satisfy the depositary that a foreign tendering stockholder qualifies as an exempt recipient, such stockholder must submit an IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8ECI (or in the case of certain foreign partnerships and other foreign intermediaries, IRS Form W-8IMY), signed under penalties of perjury, attesting to that stockholder's exempt status. You can obtain a copy of the appropriate IRS Form W-8 from the depositary.

[Corp Actions Voluntary—LMCC]

11


        For further information concerning backup withholding and instructions for completing the IRS Form W-9 (including how to obtain a taxpayer identification number if you do not have one and how to complete the IRS Form W-9 if Shares are held in more than one name), consult the enclosed General Instructions with respect to IRS Form W-9.

        9.    Irregularities.    The Purchaser will determine, in its sole discretion, all questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance for payment of any tender of Shares and its determination shall be final and binding on all parties. The Purchaser reserves the absolute right to reject any and all tenders of Shares determined by it not to be in the proper form or the acceptance of or payment for which may be unlawful. The Purchaser also reserves the absolute right to waive any of the conditions of the tender offer or any defect or irregularity in the tender of any particular Shares and the Purchaser's interpretation of the terms of the tender offer (including these instructions) shall be final and binding on all parties. No tender of Shares will be deemed to be validly made until all defects and irregularities have been cured or waived. Unless waived, all defects or irregularities in connection with tenders must be cured within such time as the Purchaser shall determine. None of the Purchaser, the depositary, the information agent nor any other person is or will be obligated to give notice of defects or irregularities in tenders, nor shall any of them incur any liability for failure to give any such notice.

        10.    Waiver of Conditions.    The Purchaser reserves the right, in its sole discretion, subject to the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, to waive any of the conditions to the tender offer in the case of any Shares tendered, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time.

        11.    Lost, Stolen, Destroyed or Mutilated Certificates.    If any certificate representing any Shares has been lost, destroyed or stolen, the stockholder should promptly notify Live Nation's transfer agent, BNY Mellon Shareowner Services, at (877) 296-7874. The stockholder will then be instructed by the transfer agent as to the steps that must be taken in order to replace the certificate. This letter of transmittal and related documents cannot be processed until the procedures for replacing lost, destroyed or stolen certificates have been followed.

        12.    Requests for Assistance or Additional Copies.    Questions relating to the procedure for tendering Shares and requests for assistance or additional copies of the Offer to Purchase and this Letter of Transmittal may be directed to, and additional information about the tender offer may be obtained from the information agent whose address and telephone number appear on the last page of this Letter of Transmittal and the Offer to Purchase.
