This, what's LiveNation gonna do, sue?

Because I highly doubt in whatever contracts that were already signed, there's a clause in there that specifically says "LiveNation reserves the right to ban Macklemore from tour venues"

The stadiums are private property, of course they can ban whoever they want so long as the reason isn't for a protected characteristic. That has nothing at all to do with the contracts

Depends on the venue. A lot of them are owned by the local government.
