Meara McLaughlin, executive director of Music Portland, a nonprofit advocacy group for Portland’s music industry, says Live Nation has been called a “predator” in other music markets.
Live Nation has the deep pockets to far outbid independent venues, giving the company the ability to snag coveted artists. That weakens the pool of artists other venues in town can attract. Live Nation dominates the national market for tour contracts with major artists, which means in cities where it operates a venue, its artists play there. Few are willing to speak on the record-but behind closed doors, they’re talking of little else. The mention of Live Nation raises hairs on the necks of local music industry players and venue operators. Both projects fell through.īut just because it’s not a surprise doesn’t mean it won’t sting.
The company proposed a venue inside Lloyd Center Mall in 2017, and then pitched a development at Zidell Yards along the South Waterfront in 2019. Live Nation has eyed Portland as the site of a venue for years, so mention of the company’s name on new development documents doesn’t come as a complete surprise.
Those residents were shuffled across the city last year.)īeam Development, which has long been slated to develop three blocks of Prosper-owned land on the Eastside, is listed on those documents as the likely developer. (The land was recently home to a BIPOC village for unhoused Portlanders. The property on the northwest corner of Southeast Water Avenue and Main Street is owned by Prosper Portland, the city’s economic development agency. You can find further information on Bradford Council’s website.The plans for the Central Eastside development are still in their infancy the city had each of its involved bureaus offer feedback to the developers and architects earlier this week about which rules the facility would need to meet.
