Live Nation Entertainment has proposed the construction of a music venue in Portland, Oregon, United States. The venue would have a capacity of 3,500 people and is slated to be built at Water Avenue between Salmon and Main streets in southeast Portland.[1] The venue is slated to open in 2026.[2]
The project has received opposition from some community members and city officials.[3][4][5] According to Portland Monthly, "news of Live Nation coming to Portland riled a significant and vocal portion of the local scene." The magazine said Jamie Dunphy was the most vocal opponent.[6]
History
In September 2024, a board of commissioners for Prosper Portland approved the sale of a vacant city lot for the venue.[7][8]
