Bedrock, Live Nation Plan 6,200-Seat Amphitheater on Cleveland Riverfront

The venue is pitched as a riverfront anchor for Cleveland’s experience-focused redevelopment.

Overview

  • Bedrock and Rock Entertainment Group announced an open-air amphitheater with 6,200 seats on the Cuyahoga riverfront to be operated with Live Nation.
  • Planned for a roughly four-acre site just south of the Cavaliers’ new practice facility near West Third Street and Stones Levee Road, the project advances Bedrock’s riverfront plan.
  • Construction could start in March or April 2026 with a target opening in May 2028, though the developer has not released formal designs or a detailed schedule.
  • Bedrock recently completed the site’s land assembly after purchases in 2023 and February 2026, controls more than 35 acres along the riverfront, and previously secured a $9 million state tax credit for early site work.
  • Rock Entertainment Group projects nearly $59 million in annual economic impact and Mayor Justin Bibb endorsed the plan, as industry observers note the venue would enter a market with several existing and proposed music sites.
