SEATTLE’S NEWEST HOME FOR LIVE MUSIC

Seattle is one of the world’s great music cities, and this venue is designed to support its continued growth. The 5,500-capacity space is tailored for artists at a key stage in their careers — between theaters and arenas — with a purpose-built environment that reflects the needs of modern touring productions. In addition to concerts, the venue will host special events throughout the year, including programming and activations on game days.

Located in Seattle’s SODO neighborhood near the stadium district, the purpose-built venue is an addition to the existing Boxyard development, expanding the facility that already welcomes thousands of guests at Hatback Bar & Grill and Steelheads Alley each year, plus a wide range of events at Victory Hall including weddings, private events, watch parties and more. Our goal is to create a space that supports artists and adds to Seattle’s music legacy.

This project is expected to generate significant economic activity for Seattle and the SODO neighborhood, supporting local businesses, workers and tourism.
“It’s great to see new energy and investment behind Seattle’s live music and entertainment scene. This venue will create another important space for artists and audiences, while bringing more fans, more economic activity, and more support for nearby businesses. It also shows how Seattle can enhance our iconic entertainment district while harmonizing with the working waterfront and industrial lands that help define the city.” – Joe Nguyen, President and CEO of the Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce
“I appreciate the opportunity for early coordination as plans for this project take shape. That kind of engagement helps our region capture the benefits of new investment, while thoughtfully upholding priorities for freight mobility, the working waterfront, and the critical jobs that keep our economy moving. I look forward to continued collaboration as this proposal develops.” - Ryan Calkins, Port of Seattle Commission President

Our venue will blend timeless materials with state-of-the-art concert production technology. Inspired by the idea of a traditional Main Street gathering place, the space will be designed to feel warm, welcoming and built to last. At the same time, it will incorporate modern acoustics and artist-focused design to build connection between performers and fans.

Live Nation brings decades of experience operating venues worldwide, with a focus on crowd flow, staffing, noise management and guest safety. Our goal is to create a seamless fan experience while keeping the community’s comfort and safety front and center.
Plans include clear wayfinding, designated rideshare drop-off areas and coordination with local partners to help keep traffic flowing smoothly. Fans will also have access to multiple nearby parking options that leverage an abundance of existing inventory.
