Live Nation brings big tunes to Centennial Yards

Downtown Atlanta’s music scene is getting a major boost.

Live Nation has signed on to anchor a new 5,300-seat concert venue at Centennial Yards, the $5 billion development transforming the former Gulch between State Farm Arena and Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Set to open in 2027, the venue will fill a sweet spot for artists seeking a stage bigger than clubs but more intimate than arenas.

Backed by CIM Group and Atlanta Hawks owner Tony Ressler, Centennial Yards is shaping up as a walkable district blending dining, hotels, residences and entertainment. Atlanta music lovers, get ready for a new favorite downtown venue.
