City of Colorado Springs Reaffirms Planning Commission Decision to Approve The Sunset Outdoor Music Amphitheater

Notes Live, Inc., the rapidly growing music venue and hospitality company, received final approval last night from Colorado Springs City Council, where Notes Live is based, to begin construction on its $40 million, 8,000-capacity outdoor music amphitheater The Sunset. Notes Live Inc. plans to be moving dirt on the project within the next few weeks.

Featured in Billboard’s 2022 New and Renovated Venues list, 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, flanked by the United States Air Force Academy stadium on the left and the iconic Air Force Academy chapel on the right, as well as amenities like VIP luxury firepit suites, four 5-star restaurants including a signature seafood and chophouse with a top-shelf rooftop bar carrying more than 150 of the rarest bourbons in the world.

“We look forward to working closely with the City, adjacent neighbors, Air Force Academy, the community, and those who share our excitement of being able to bring high caliber outdoor music performances to the Pikes Peak region,” said JW Roth, CEO and Chairman of Notes Live.

Bob Cope, Economic Development Officer for the City of Colorado Springs, said “The Sunset Colosseum will make a significant contribution to the economic vitality of our city. It will provide a unique experience to Colorado Springs that will attract locals and visitors alike. More importantly, it will make our city a more interesting and vibrant community and enhance our already outstanding quality of life."

In 2022, Notes Live, Inc. announced new music and entertainment complexes in the emerging markets of Colorado Springs, CO; Gainesville, GA and Murfreesboro, TN. The company identifies markets in regions with growing populations but a dearth of high-quality music and entertainment venues, and offers premium concert experiences, complete with unbeatable sound and sightlines as well as elevated food and beverage offerings. In addition to having two Notes Live venues named to Billboard's "2022 New and Renovated Venues List," JW Roth was named a "VenuesNow 2022 All Star." Notes Live has plans to operate in a half dozen markets by the end of 2023, with expansions to six additional markets planned over the next five years. The company is currently preparing to initiate a public offering under Regulation A in the coming months.
