The Orion Amphitheater celebrated its 100th show with Mumford & Sons Friday, and management group tvg is celebrating by establishing another Huntsville venue.

Why it matters: Huntsville’s music reputation keeps snowballing, building off successes like the city-owned Orion, the Huntsville Music Office and further investment in mainstays like the Von Braun Center.

  • That all drives jobs and investment, and means us locals get to enjoy the fruits of that labor via hometown shows from a variety of acts.

Zoom in: The Venue Group (tvg), founded in 2016 by Ben Lovett of Mumford & Sons, has already revived The Lumberyard in Huntsville.

  • The group and the city announced Aug. 1 that it’s looking for its next location, planned to be a 2,500-3,000 capacity venue to “fill a vital capacity gap in the market” and “build on the success of the Orion.”

What they’re saying: “Huntsville’s commitment to its music ecosystem is unlike any other, and we’re thrilled to now explore another world class venue that will further cement its place as a cultural hub,” Lovett says in the announcement.

Venue developer tvg has revealed plans to open Pacific Electric, a brand-new concert venue in Los Angeles, in the fall of 2025.

Los Angeles entertainment veteran Stacey Levine has been appointed General Manager of Pacific Electric and will oversee the venue in partnership with tvg.

“I got into this business for the love of live music—the energy, the anticipation, and the connection between fans and artists; all feeling a song together, in their own way,” says Levine. “The collaboration to create an unforgettable show is what drives me, and that’s exactly the experience we’re building at Pacific Electric. I couldn’t be more excited to open our doors and continue to contribute to L.A.’s vibrant music community.”

Ben Lovett‘s venue management firm tvg is opening its first venue in Los Angeles, unveiling plans today for the Pacific Electric, a 750-capacity open room in the city’s Chinatown neighborhood.

Located next to popular restaurant Majordomo, the venue is set in an old warehouse that was previously owned by Wasserman Music executive and booking agent Tom Windish. Its name is a nod to the trolley system that once crisscrossed downtown LA and beyond.

“For the last 10 years, I’ve kind of been obsessed with venues and the role that venues have in artists stories,” Lovett tells Billboard. “Everything from the air that you’re breathing, to the floor that you’re standing on that really matters. It’s not just a happenstance — it makes the show and for a lot of people the room can be so good that it can bring out transcendental performances.”
