Steelhouse Omaha is a live music venue venue located in Downtown Omaha, Nebraska, United States. The venue began construction in 2020 and opened on May 12, 2023.
History
[edit]In November 2019, Omaha Performing Arts announced a $109 million live music venue to be built in Downtown Omaha. Many bands and artists previously avoided the Omaha–Council Bluffs metropolitan area due to its lack of an appropriate performance area.[1] Construction began in 2020, with groundbreaking beginning a year later. At the groundbreaking ceremony, the venue was officially named Steelhouse Omaha.[2][3] Steelhouse Omaha officially opened on May 12, 2023. The first concert was The Killers.[4]
Design
[edit]Steelhouse Omaha is a charcoal-colored building with a sawtooth rhythm design on the exterior. This is meant to represent the manufacturing of steel.[5] The building was designed by Ennead Architects and was built by Kiewit Corporation. Ennead also designed the nearby Holland Performing Arts Center, which also owned by Omaha Performing Arts.[6] Steelhouse Omaha has a capacity of 2,700 people on the floor and an additional 300 people on the balcony.[7]
