Live Nation-operated Cleveland amphitheater breaks ground, ahead of 2028 opening
Live Nation and its partners have begun construction of a 6,200-seat amphitheatre on Cleveland’s riverfront, with an opening planned by summer 2028. It will be the city’s first large music venue built in more than 20 years and is intended to attract major touring acts while supporting downtown development.
Bedrock and Rock Entertainment Group are developing the venue as part of a 35-acre riverfront redevelopment, with Live Nation as operator and DLR Group as lead designer. The partners project nearly $59 million in annual economic impact; the site is next to a performance centre due to open in February 2027. The project also comes as Live Nation plans further venue expansion, including 38 new venues from 2027 to 2031.
In short
- Cleveland’s 6,200-seat amphitheatre is due to open by summer 2028.
- Developers project nearly $59 million in annual economic impact.
- It is part of a wider 35-acre riverfront redevelopment.
