After more than four years of planning, Milwaukee's new Landmark Credit Union Live concert venue has officially opened. The 4,500-person capacity venue is backed by Live Nation and aims to attract more major music acts to the city, building on the success of other recent entertainment developments in the Third Ward neighborhood.

Why it matters

The venue is backed by Live Nation, the world's largest live entertainment company, and represents a major investment in the city's live music infrastructure. The new venue will complement existing smaller music clubs and theaters in the area, providing a mid-sized option to attract acts that have historically bypassed Milwaukee.
