Artist Inspired.
We’re reimagining how live entertainment is built and experienced.
We develop and operate premium, artist-inspired destinations designed with a fan-first mindset – blending world-class venues, elevated hospitality, and innovative ownership models.
Our Sunset Amphitheaters are multi-seasonal, multi-configuration outdoor venues featuring premium hospitality experiences, including the Aikman Owners Club, and Luxe FireSuites – creating unforgettable moments for fans.
Built on the principles of Fan-Founded, Fan-Owned, and Artist-Inspired, we align creators, communities, and capital through public–private partnerships with cities and industry leaders. By collaborating closely with touring artists, we design live entertainment destinations that better serve performers, deepen fan connection, and are built to last.







Setting the Stage for the 2026 Lineup
Ford Amphitheater has welcomed an impressive lineup throughout 2024 and 2025, featuring standout performances from artists like OneRepublic, Miranda Lambert, The Black Keys, and The Red Clay Strays. With thoughtfully designed spaces—from the lawn to bowl seating to the Luxe FireSuites—every show offered a distinct way to experience live music.

Partnerships
VENU is building a new era of live entertainment through bold partnerships — from our multi-year collaboration with Billboard to strategic alliances with Troy Aikman, Dierks Bentley, TIXR, Boston Common Golf, Primary Wave, and Niall Horan. Together, we’re shaping destinations and experiences that put artists and fans at the center of every stage.
VENU proudly welcomes global artist, songwriter, and entrepreneur Niall Horan as a shareholder and founding member of the VENU Advisory Council.
Throughout his career, Niall has built genuine connections — from performing for sold-out crowds to championing new talent and ventures. His passion for creativity, mentorship, and authenticity aligns perfectly with VENU’s mission to reimagine the fan and artist experience.
“Music has always been about connection,” Niall shared. “It brings people together no matter who they are or where they’re from. Joining VENU as a shareholder and advisory council member is a chance to strengthen that bond and create something amazing for artists and fans.”
For VENU Founder & CEO J.W. Roth, the partnership feels natural:
“Niall represents what this movement is all about — a belief that music can change the way we gather and experience life. We couldn’t ask for a better partner to help build what’s next.”
Together, VENU and Niall Horan are shaping a new era of live entertainment.
VENU and Boston Common Golf, the star-studded TGL team, have formed a strategic partnership to blend live entertainment, music, and innovative fan engagement with competitive golf, united by a shared vision to redefine how modern audiences connect and experience entertainment.
VENU and Billboard joined forces earlier this year to honor the innovators shaping what’s next in live entertainment — a multi-year partnership celebrating the fearless creators redefining the stage.
VENU and Dierks Bentley are teaming up, with the multi-platinum star joining as a shareholder and founding Advisory Council member to bring unmatched live-music insight to the next generation of fan-first venues nationwide.
VENU and Tixr are partnering to power a modern, fan-first ticketing and commerce experience across VENU’s intimate music halls, giving guests a seamless way to customize events—from tickets to merch, food, and beyond.
Music is a great unifier that connects people. All of my life’s best memories, and I would venture yours too, revolve around great music. I envision building world-class outdoor music amphitheaters and venues unlike anything the world has ever seen. Welcome to VENU, where we design, build, and own the world’s most luxurious venues. We are painting the canvas of the future of music and entertainment for music lovers all over the United States.”
