With VENU scheduled to open three new outdoor amphitheatres in 2026 across the Tulsa market, El Paso, Texas, and the Dallas metro area, the alliance deepens its artist-inspired programming and strengthens its premium entertainment portfolio.
VENU continues to scale its footprint, targeting up to 40 total locations by 2030.
Primary Wave is backed by a catalog of over 1000 Top 10 singles and 400 Number 1 hits, with this partnership creating what the press release calls “a scalable pipeline of premium content with enduring market demand.”
What they said:
Lisa Fruggiero, Vice President of Brand Partnerships at Primary Wave Music: “Coming together with VENU was an easy decision. This exciting, anticipated partnership provides an opportunity for Primary Wave to build a dynamic platform, alongside VENU’s incredible team, that will connect our iconic catalog of music with fans across multiple generations.
