Live Nation wants to open a concert venue and event space in Lower Manhattan.

Live Nation would partner on the project with Legends, an entertainment venue and stadium operator that runs the One World Trade Center observatory space.

Live Nation representatives met with Community Board 1’s liquor licensing committee on Wednesday evening to go over plans for selling alcohol and its vision to redevelop the stock exchange. The company and Legends will likely meet with the community board again to continue discussions over the next few weeks and months.
