Live music venue in San Juan, Puerto Rico
The Coca-Cola Music Hall is a live-music venue located at 250 Convention Boulevard in the neighborhood of Isla Grande in San Juan, Puerto Rico, managed by ASM Global. The Coca-Cola Music Hall is part of the T-Mobile District development at the Puerto Rico Convention District.[2]
History
The Coca-Cola Music Hall was developed as part of a major development plan around the Puerto Rico Convention Center. Initially developed as District Live!, it was developed as a major entertainment hub, which included two live music venues, an outdoor plaza with a performing stage, retail and eating spaces and a Caribbean Cinemas movie theater.[3][4] The area was officially opened as the T-Mobile District.
Construction for the T-Mobile District, along with the Coca-Cola Music Hall, began in 2016 as part of a major redevelopment that would complement the Puerto Rico Convention Center that had opened in 2005. The Coca-Cola Music Hall was described as a top class live event venue that would feature a prestigious sound system, a 75x30 LED screen and its own in-house lighting equipment that would facilitate staging for future events. At a $40 Million investment, the Coca-Cola Music Hall's construction was completed in 2020 but the opening of the venue, originally scheduled for March 2020, was held back until 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Naming rights were sold to The Coca-Cola Company in 2019 for an undisclosed amount, thus making it the first venue in Puerto Rico to sell its naming right.[5][6]
Puerto Rican singer, Ednita Nazario held the inaugural event at the venue to a sold-out performance.
On March 16, 2022, the Coca-Cola Music Hall hosted the Miss World 2021 pageant,[a] which was originally scheduled on December 16, 2021 at the José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum.[b]
