BOSTON (WHDH) - A new music venue is coming to Fenway.
The Fenway Sports Group holding a groundbreaking ceremony for the MGM Music Hall on Friday.
It’s being developed on the corner of Landsdowne and Ipswich streets.
The music hall is expected to hold about 5,000 people, which is double the size of the House of Blues.
Mayor Martin J. Walsh says the new venue is a great way to revive the music scene in Boston.
“At one point Boston was really known as the music scene. Over time, it got a little diluted. I think what this does is start to bring the music scene back,” he said. “This venue can be used for a lot of different opportunities to the neighborhood as well and again I think it’s very exciting to see it here.”
The MGM Music Hall is set to open in 2021.
