Live Nation Looks At Bayfront

Live Nation is reportedly the front runner to operate the 10,000-capacity Bayfront Park Amphitheatre in Miami.

City commissioners authorized the park’s trust to negotiate with Live Nation, according to Miami Today. LN runs another local facility, the Fillmore at the Jackie Gleason Theatre.

Tim Schmand, executive director of the Bayfront Park Management Trust, told the paper the deal would garner the city $650,000 a year, and LN has also reportedly offered to take on the costs of amphitheatre improvements.

The promotion company is considering adding a restaurant, rooftop lounge, new stage and other improvements to the shed in Bayfront Park, the proposal reportedly says.

The city has about three months to negotiate with Live Nation.
