The NC Music Factory announced Thursday that Live Nation will open a Fillmore Music Hall in the entertainment complex in uptown's Fourth Ward. The concert promoter will also exclusively book the music factory's 5,000-seat outdoor boutique amphitheater.
“Having the Fillmore brings a world-class recognition to Charlotte,” said Noah Lazes of ARK Group, which is developing the Music Factory. “The Fillmore is arguably the most respected club venue in the world, by artists as well as fans.”
And with Live Nation operating the venue, “it's the best. It's like having Microsoft running your company,” Lazes said.
The original Fillmore opened in San Francisco in 1965 and attracted such music acts as The Who, Pink Floyd and the Grateful Dead. Since then, Fillmore venues have opened in New York, Miami, Detroit and Denver.
Lazes says the 2,000-seat venue is slated to open in late spring or early summer.
The famed Fillmore Music Hall is joining the NC Music Factory in 2009 and will feature state of the art lights and sound to host 150+ concerts/year.
