Ben Lovett Opens New Venue At Brooklyn Domino Sugar Refinery
Ben Lovett of Mumford & Sons will open a new 750-capacity concert venue called Domino at Williamsburg's historic Domino Sugar Refinery next April.
Venue Details And Programming
The new location is a 750-capacity room situated in the historic Domino Sugar Refinery building. Ben Lovett's company tvg Hospitality developed the space in partnership with Emerson Partners. The venue will host concerts, comedy nights, film screenings and live podcast tapings. Dice will serve as the ticketing platform for all events held at the site.
Ownership And Community Vision
Two Trees Management owns the Domino Sugar Refinery property in Brooklyn. CEO Jed Walentas stated that preserving history while creating something new has been central to their vision. The company believes arts and music are essential to making the neighborhood vibrant. Lovett noted that Williamsburg was his introduction to New York City twenty years ago.
Industry Support And Policies
tvg Hospitality is a member of the National Independent Venue Association. The location pledges no portion from artist merchandise sold at shows. Jen Lyon of the New York Independent Venue Association welcomed the new indie option for the market. This policy bucks common practices that have been unpopular among musicians in recent years.
