VENU, an aggressive new player in the independent live entertainment space, is unveiling plans to open an 8,000 person state of the art open-air amphitheater in the entertainment rich Polaris Pointe development in Colorado Springs. The Sunset Amphitheater is backed by $40 million in financing and set to open in fall of 2024. The Sunset will host the largest touring acts in the country in style and comfort on the same campus as the company’s current mid-sized music venue, Boot Barn Hall. Designed by industry renowned architects, The Sunset will offer an unparalleled view of the sun setting over Pikes Peak, America’s mountain, right behind the stage as each concert begins. The amphitheater will be flanked by the United States Air Force Academy stadium on the left and the iconic Air Force chapel on the right. It will include amenities like 90 VIP luxury Fire Pit Suites, four 5-star restaurants including a signature seafood and chophouse with a top-shelf rooftop bar carrying over 150 of the rarest bourbons in the world.
