VENU News & Events

Reports Q1 revenue $3.9M vs. $3.5M last year. "We had a busy start to fiscal 2026, with significant progress executing on our strategy to bring a new asset class to live entertainment," said J.W. Roth, CEO. "Conversations with municipalities continue to gain momentum, with more than 45 municipalities currently in active discussion about bringing a VENU concept into their city limits. And subsequent to quarter end we announced a new planned development at the Bend in Chattanooga, Tennessee, which we believe represents a tremendous opportunity for the VENU brand. As we look back on the fiscal first quarter, we are proud of the progress we have made. Our total assets increased to $461.3 million, up 25% from year-end, as we continue to get closer to completing our new state-of-the-art immersive venues. On the sponsorship front, we announced a new multi-year partnership with PepsiCo as our official beverage partner across our portfolio of Sunset Amphitheater venues, as well as an expanded partnership with Aramark Sports and Entertainment. On the capital front we closed an $86.25 million equity capital raise in one of the most volatile market stretches in recent history. We also launched several new product offerings for our Luxe FireSuites, to meet demand at all levels and support continued development of our venues. Looking ahead, our model is working. The conviction has never been stronger. And the plan is being executed at every level. We are excited for what is next."

Venu Holding announced the launch of its FireSuite Income Offering, a fractional ownership offering providing participants with an opportunity to acquire an interest in a portion of the Company's signature Luxe FireSuites across a selection of its under development venues, intended to bring the financial benefits of VENU's established FireSuite ownership program to a broader range of investors nationwide. Designed for accredited investors seeking passive income backed by a real estate asset, the offering terms and structure provides preferred returns, tax benefits, and structured liquidity with no operational burden on the investor. The newly introduced program offers participants a fractional interest in a dedicated group of company-managed FireSuites, with a minimum investment of $20,000.

Venu Holding announced it has entered into an agreement to purchase a 15 acre parcel of property for planned expansion into Tennessee where Venu is taking definitive steps towards the development of a landmark, next-generation, world-class amphitheater at the Bend in Chattanooga, to be named Sunset Amphitheater Chattanooga. That planned development is anticipated to represent $300M in total investment. Developed in partnership with Urban Story Ventures, the project will deliver an immersive, omni-content, multi-seasonal entertainment experience into one of the Southeast's fastest-growing markets and stands as one of the most significant entertainment and economic development initiatives in Chattanooga's history, Venu said. The venue will feature approximately 12,500 seats, making it one of the largest live entertainment venues in Tennessee, surpassing Ascend Amphitheater in Nashville. Featuring a canopied roof designed to function as both partially enclosed and open air, it will become Chattanooga's first multi-seasonal facility, fundamentally expanding the city's ability to attract major touring acts and large-scale events 365 days a year. "This is exactly the kind of strategic expansion opportunity our shareholders expect from us," said JW Roth, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Venu Holding Corporation. "Chattanooga is a high-growth market with a proven appetite for live entertainment and a city leadership team that understands the economic power of what we are building together. We are grateful for the trust of this community and committed to delivering a destination that makes Chattanooga proud for generations to come."

Venu Holding announced it is in active discussions with several Northern Colorado municipalities for a potential development of a next-generation, multi-seasonal, multi-configurational entertainment venue with an expected capacity of 12,500. With a projected investment exceeding $350 million, this proposed destination is designed to set a new standard not just for Colorado, but for live entertainment in the American West. "We have long believed in the potential of the Northern Colorado market, and I am excited to share our progress as we continue to scale our Colorado footprint," said JW Roth, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of VENU. "We are encouraged by the interest we have received across the region and can't wait to share more on this world-class development in the future."
