The Orange County city is looking to follow in the footsteps of Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre, which ended its contract with Nederlander Concerts in 2015.
Irvine, Calif. officials are considering going the way of the Greek Theatre, pausing negotiations with Live Nation for the development of a 14,000-capacity amphitheater at the city’s Great Park to consider a plan to go it alone and develop and manage a scaled-down 8,000-capacity amphitheater with city resources.
The decision surprised many during a special Irvine city council meeting on Tuesday night , when the Orange County city’s leaders were asked to approve a contract between the city and Live Nation for the development of a $130 million amphitheater to replace the non-permanent Live Nation-operated Five Points Amphitheater.
While several council members described the project as a good deal for the city, Irvine residents weren’t totally on board, with many complaining of possible traffic impacts as well as concerns about noise emanating from the venue. Other speakers, includingwith the Southwest Mountain States Regional Council of Carpenters, said the project would bring both jobs and world-class talent to Orange County.
“We feel this is a good project. We think the City Manager has done a good job in terms of negotiations,” Hanna said, noting that the project fits with the original vision of the Great Park, “which was created to accommodate not just city members, but the entire region and this venue will do that.”said she believed city officials needed more time to evaluate Live Nation’s proposal, which she said felt rushed through.
