April

A new mid-size live music venue with a capacity of 4,300 is planned for development in Tampa, Florida, with Live Nation Entertainment set to operate the site upon completion.
The venue will be located in the Gasworx district in Tampa’s historic Ybor City area, specifically on North 15th Street near the 7th Avenue entertainment corridor. The project is being developed by KETTLER and is scheduled to open in late 2028.
Positioned as an intimate, mid-size venue, the site is intended to address a gap in Tampa’s live music infrastructure by accommodating a wide range of touring artists and events. The location places it within close proximity to existing nightlife, transport links, and planned infrastructure, including a future streetcar stop.
According to the developers, the project is expected to generate approximately $80 million in economic impact and support more than 400 jobs, while contributing to increased tourism and local business activity in the wider Tampa Bay region.
The venue design is being developed in collaboration with
Live Nation’s in-house Blueprint Studio and TVS Architecture and Interior Design. Plans combine modern production capabilities with architectural elements inspired by Ybor City’s historic character, including a brick façade, marquee lighting, and a balcony structure.
