“At stadium and arena level, concert giants such as Live Nation are hosting more fans than ever. Record-breaking tours from Taylor Swift, Beyoncé and others have swelled that multinational’s revenue to an astonishing $22.7bn (£17.8bn). Meanwhile, at the other end, 125 UK venues abandoned live music in 2023 – more than half of them closing for good – owing to pressures ranging from soaring rent and energy prices to the hangover of Covid. The esteemed Moles club in Bath shut up shop in December after 45 years; other recent closures include Melodic Distraction in Liverpool and Velvet Music Rooms in Birmingham. The nightclub scene is imperilled – Rekom, which owns the Pryzm chain, is closing half its venues, blaming the cost of living crisis – and a number of major music festivals are postponing events this year or shutting down.”
One of Milwaukee’s best music venues, Cactus Club, was contacted by Live Nation, and as club owner Kelsey Kaufmann explains in this tiktok- harassed her about Milwaukee’s Deer District double venue complex planned to begin building in 2023, a project that she vocally does not support.
A rep from Live Nation, the $18+BIL company who also bought up a large portion of Madison’s music venues in 2018, and is, as you should remember, also the same company at the center of the Astroworld tragedy that killed 10- called Kelsey and became antagonistic when she was critical of the proposed double venue project across from one of Milwaukee’s other historic venues, Turner Hall.
Despite a growing movement against the project other venues formed a group called Save MKE’s Music Scene, which made a petition from Concerned Downtown Neighbors, and has nearly 10k signatures, the Milwaukee Common Council last week on October 25 voted to recommend zoning, so this project is all but inevitable- and is slated to open in early 2024. The Council will likely go forward with full approval tomorrow, November 1.
Besides building a new complex FPC Live/Live Nation/Ticketmaster are attempting to attain through hostile tactics a monopoly of Milwaukee’s music scene, as it did in Madison, and will continue here the company’s long history of labor violations, wage theft, and sheer incompetence culminating is dangerously unsafe environments that put their workers and audience lives at risk.
