Concert giant Live Nation has set its sights on downtown. What that means for live music in San Diego
Live Nation plans to convert San Diego's old Wonder Bread factory into a 4,000-seat venue, adding to the city's six existing downtown music venues. Independent venue operators express concerns about Live Nation's business practices, including exclusive artist contracts, but acknowledge the new venue could offer more opportunities for mid-sized artists. The company faces antitrust scrutiny but continues to operate as usual.
