BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) – We are On Your Side trying to get you answers on the future of the Oak Mountain Amphitheatre.
Just yesterday, Nov. 12, a Live Nation representative said Oak Mountain Amphitheatre had a great 38-year run and that they are now turning their attention to Coca-Cola Amphitheatre Birmingham. We’re working to see what that means for Pelham.
Live Nation has offered no clarity on that comment. Our team has reached out to multiple reps in the last 24 hours trying to get you answers, but right now, the future of this beloved venue is still very much a mystery.
We also reached out to elected leaders in Pelham with questions on the situation. A city spokesperson says questions about the venues future should be directed to Live Nation. We also asked if the city been contacted by Live Nation to share its intentions with the property.
“Live Nation indicated it wished to work with the city during the transition. To this point, this is all we have been told,” said Pelham Communications Manager Ainsley Allison.
Neighbors who work in the area say the amphitheater brings both visitors and money in to Pelham, but they say they are frustrated by the lack of transparency.
“The uncertainty and the unknowing of the future is frustrating because the amphitheater has been around for 38 years. I am 39-years-old, I can’t remember a time where Oak Mountain Amphitheater hasn’t been a thing,” said Oak Mountain Brewing Company Tap Room General Manager Lee Pilleteri.
We will continue to ask questions and will update you on air and online.
