Marathon Live Adds Kickers Saloon Club In Jacksonville Beach, Expands The Signal In Chattanooga

Venue manager and promoter Marathon Live has added the 600-capacity, country-themed Kickers Saloon in Jacksonville Beach, Florida, to its portfolio. Marathon will also book the venue, which opened in January 2026 and hosts country, blues, southern rock and classic rock music. Marathon Live also owns and operates the 1,266-capacity FIVE venue in the Five Points neighborhood of Jacksonville.

Kickers Saloon adds to Marathon’s venue portfolio, which includes Marathon Music Works in Nashville, The Truman in Kansas City, The Hall in Little Rock and The Hawthorn in St. Louis.

Also managed by Marathon Live, the 1,500-capacity The Signal venue in Chattanooga is expanding into the remaining convention spaces at 21 Choo Choo Ave., further integrating the former Chattanooga Choo Choo Convention Center footprint into its operations. 

The new event space named The Commons will occupy what was once the Chattanooga Choo Choo Convention Center’s lecture hall and meeting rooms and the addition will give The Signal three separate event spaces. Those are the 1,500 Concert Hall, 550-capacity The Parlour and a multi-configuration The Commons for meetings, presentations and community events.

The Signal has already begun booking events in The Commons. Inquiries can be sent to events@thesignaltn.com.
