The City of Irvine is now looking for a company to operate the proposed new amphitheater at its Great Park, after city councilors—acting as members of the Great Park Board—ended the city’s partnership July 25 with live music events promoter and venue operator LiveNation in a 3–2 vote.

The decision came during a Great Park special board meeting where city leaders were set to approve a final design, construction, and operation agreement with the promoter, after an initial agreement was approved by the city council in September.
