The Farmer Music Center Opening Spring 2027!

10/01/2026

This week marked an important milestone for The Farmer Music Center and the Cincinnati community. On Monday, MEMI, the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Messer and project partners gathered for the topping out ceremony celebrating the placement of the new music venue’s highest structural beam.
 
As the structure takes shape, so does the vision for The Farmer Music Center; a state-of-the-art amphitheater changing how audiences see, hear, and connect with live music. We’re proud to celebrate this milestone with the many partners whose hard work and collaboration are making this vision a reality. We’re one beam closer to welcoming artists and fans to Cincinnati’s newest live music destination.

The first of many roof trusses has been placed at Farmer Music Center.

Each truss, measuring more than 200 feet in length, is assembled on the ground in sections before being hoisted into place and secured to the proscenium truss and E-line columns, with temporary shoring towers providing support between the connection points. Due to the immense weight of the steel, a crawler crane is used to lift each section into position.

Once a truss section is secured to its shoring tower and anchor points, temporary steel cables stabilize the structure until connecting trusses are installed. Together, these trusses will support the expansive roof spanning from the stage to the edge of the lawn.

Within the Farmer Music Center, walls are rising block by block. The future spaces of premium clubs, concessions, and amenities are beginning to take shape on Level 1, with steady progress made in the North end of the building. Electrical and plumbing systems are being set into place, quietly laying the foundation for the vibrant concourse that fans will one day stroll.

The lawn and seated sections are beginning to take shape.

The first and second levels reveal the venue’s tiered design, featuring gradual elevations and interconnected walkways where thousands of seats will soon be installed. Both levels will sit beneath an expansive roof structure.

The third level is also coming into focus. Along the north side of the venue, the foundation and rear eight-foot wall for the lawn are now visible, defining an elevated section that will overlook all the action on stage.

As the walls begin to rise, one of the venue’s first architectural finishes comes alive: burnished block.

These concrete masonry units, enriched with natural aggregate, are selected not just for strength but for their decorative character. Distinct from traditional block, they will be sealed and polished to reveal a smooth, luminous surface that elevates the exterior aesthetic.

Work also continues on the backstage building adjacent to the stage, a future retreat where artists will relax before stepping into the spotlight.

The 3rd level is beginning to take shape.

The new level will connect to soon-to-be completed work on the 2nd level, which involves setting raker forms for concrete pours. This structure will eventually support a reserved seating area.

Once the 2nd level is complete, construction will progress upward as the Level 3 lawn is formed, seamlessly connecting the two levels. The concrete surface will then receive a specialized traffic coating to enhance durability, improve water resistance, and ensure safe footing.

The 3rd level will be home to the general admission lawn area. Outfitted with field turf and plenty of concession areas, it will offer an elevated viewing experience nearly 50 feet above the 1st level concourse.
