Red Rocks Award nomination for Best Small Outdoor Concert Venue given to Meadowbrook U.S. Cellular Pavillion

GILFORD — The Meadowbrook U.S. Cellular Pavilion has been nominated by Pollstar for the prestigious Red Rocks Award.

Pollstar is recognized as the industry leader in touring music around the world. In 1999, the Best Small Outdoor Concert Venue Award was renamed the Red Rocks Award to reflect the venue’s dominance in the category over the years. The award is given to the best outdoor venue in the world with a capacity of less than 10,000.

“I cannot begin to explain how humbling this nomination is for the entire Meadowbrook family,” said RJ Harding, Meadowbrook U.S. Cellular Pavilion President. “When you think of the best concert venues in the world, you think of Red Rocks. To be considered one of the top five venues in the world and nominated for this award is truly special.”

Every year since 1984, Pollstar has invited a small exclusive group of industry professionals to consider nominations in specific categories for the Pollstar Concert Industry Awards. This year, the Meadowbrook U.S. Cellular Pavilion is one of five nominees for the Red Rocks Award. Other nominees are Filene Center At Wolf Trap in Vienna, VA; Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, CA; Mountain Winery in Saratoga, CA;and St. Augustine Amphitheatre in St. Augustine, FL.

The winners will be determined by votes from the international readership of Pollstar Magazine. The awards will be presented at the Pollstar Live! Awards Show at Club Nokia in Los Angeles, CA on Saturday, February 5, 2011.
