After just two years of operation, Ford Amphitheater was named Top West Coast Amphitheater on Billboard’s 2026 Top Music Venues List. The venue was designed from the ground up for live music and features signature Luxe FireSuites, elevated Owners Clubs, sweeping views of the Rocky Mountains, and on-property dining and nightlife destinations including Roth’s Sea & Steak and Brohan’s fine dining and cocktail lounge.
“It is always great catching up with JW and the VENU team, and Ford Amphitheater was the perfect place to do it,” said Aikman. “I should have come sooner. I walked out on that concourse, and I did not want to leave. The FireSuites, the mountains, the sunset, it all hits differently in person. I have been around world class venues my whole career and what VENU has built in Colorado Springs belongs in that conversation. I am proud to be part of it.”
“Having Troy out at Ford Amphitheater meant a lot to us,” said JW Roth, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of VENU. “We have been working together for almost a year and a half now and it has been incredible to watch this come to life.

Troy is a true partner in every sense of the word, and we are grateful for his continued belief in what we are building.”
