Landmark Credit Union Live officially opens this week in the heart of Deer District, adding a new 4,500-capacity indoor venue to Milwaukee’s live entertainment scene.
Celebrating Community
The opening celebration begins this evening with a community event featuring performances from Vinyl Department, DJ Lukewarm, The Steph Lippert Project and Chicken Wire Empire. The event will benefit Grace Weber’s Music Lab, a Radio Milwaukee program supporting music and arts education. Landmark Credit Union Live will continue to partner with Radio Milwaukee on programming focused on education, access and awareness of career pathways within live entertainment. Details on these initiatives will be shared at a later date.
Built for Live Music
A collaboration between Live Nation and FPC Live, Landmark Credit Union Live is slated to host more than 70 events annually, spotlighting emerging talent and national touring artists alike. Beyond concerts, the venue will serve as a community hub for private events and local gatherings.
Landmark Credit Union Live is custom built for live music, featuring state-of-the-art sound and elevated experiences for fans and artists alike. Artists and touring crews will have access to backstage amenities including well-appointed lounge spaces, a gym and a private patio.
Food and beverage options complement the concert experience, with concessions ranging from Koko’s Bavarian specialties and local partnerships with Sheboygan Pasty Co., Third Space Brewing and 3 Sheeps Brewing.
Milwaukee-Inspired Design
The venue pays tribute to Milwaukee’s heritage with special design elements by Blueprint Studio, Live Nation’s in-house global design group, including:
- Drum Wall and “Message in a Bottle” Bar: Inspired by the lore of Drum’s Hollow and Milwaukee’s hidden waterways, these photo-worthy features create immersive moments inside the venue.
- TYME Machine Photo Booth: Created in partnership with naming partner Landmark Credit Union, the photo booth nods to the city’s nostalgic ATM network and gives fans a keepsake on concert nights.
- Custom Art: Artwork throughout the venue by Milwaukee artist Taylor Berman weaves together native wildlife and lake-to-land landscapes celebrating the region’s natural environment. A sheet music mural backstage also recognizes Milwaukee as the longtime home of Hal Leonard, one of the world’s largest sheet music publishers.
Elevated Premium Experiences
Those seeking an elevated concert experience can enjoy premium suites, boxes and memberships, with amenities including dedicated entrances and parking. At the heart of the premium offering is the Vinyl Room, an exclusive lounge open on show nights to premium ticketholders. Inspired by 1970s Japanese listening rooms, it celebrates analog artistry with a DJ spinning vinyl and chef-curated menus.
Economic Investment in Downtown
The venue will bring significant economic impact to downtown Milwaukee and has already created more than 200 jobs across operations, hospitality, security and other roles, with starting wages of $20 an hour.
