Concert promotion company AEG will increase its footprint in Cleveland with a new 1,200-capacity event venue in the city's West Bank of The Flats, on Elm Street.
Globe Iron, named after its building's history as Globe Iron Works Foundry in the 1800s, is set to open the newly renovated space on March 1, 2025.
The building will feature an indoor hall for concerts and special events, along with a courtyard. AEG plans to host 150 events a year that are open to the public, as well as private events like weddings, conferences and fundraisers, according to a news release.
AEG also operates the Agora, the historic Cleveland venue that it took over in 2017 and renovated. In 2022, the concert promotion company also took over operations at Jacobs Pavilion in a 10-year agreement.
“Cleveland has been a focus for AEG Presents since renovating the iconic Agora six years ago. With a design focused on the best live experience, Globe Iron will be a must-play venue in the region,” says Jason Rogalewski, senior vice president of AEG Presents Great Lakes, in a news release. “It will check all the boxes with state-of-the-art sound and lighting, perfect sight lines, and world-class amenities for both fans and artists, all within a unique setting that ensures a truly great experience and supports our goal of bringing more tours to Cleveland.”
