Decca Live is a brand-new venue in Jacksonville, FL. that will have its grand opening on Jan. 31, 2025. According to an article from VenuesNow, it is a 1,000-capacity venue that is located in a former hardware store that specializes in ship chandlery. Then, that store later became the headquarters for the Florida State Theater Company. This was a historic music venue that later got a little refreshing touch through the innovative ideas coming from a group of four local partners, including BLNK CNVS promoter Eric Fuller. That same promoter is also launching the Decca Live and according to another post – this one from Billboard – the American dance/electronic music legend Kaskade will become its first artist to perform at the venue’s grand opening.

What will the Decca Live venue look like?

The 1,000-capacity Decca Live venue will have three floors spread out, including a second-floor mezzanine level and a rooftop level with its own bar, entrances, and exits. Fuller then stated that the venue could have a rooftop bar accessible through the venue. Fuller also added another option, where the ground floor and mezzanine can be primarily used for concerts, while the rooftop can maintain a “cocktail lounge vibe” where attendees can relax while listening to chill music and talking, amongst others.

Additionally, Fuller also emphasizes that Decca Live will include events that play a wide variety of genres; EDM, rock, country, and so on. A main goal for the promoter in regard to the accessibility of music options at Decca Live is to ensure that “the room is available for all promoters” to host events at the venue regardless of who will perform. The opening of this new, exciting venue is one of the various achievements for Eric Fuller, who is already the largest independent promoter of Miami Music Week through BLNK CNVS. Last year, BLNK CNVS hosted more than 35 events and sold over 40,000 tickets. When Kaskade opens up Decca Live, as well as future acts who will illuminate the venue going forward, there is a very strong chance that the venue will see similar rates of success.
