The Andrew J Brady ICON Music Center at The Banks is the new music venue on Cincinnati's riverfront from Music & Event Management, Inc. (MEMI) — and it's ready for its close-up.
MEMI is inviting the public into its state-of-the-art venue for an open house 10:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Sunday, July 25.
The event is free and will let guests peek around the 4,500-capacity interior, which boasts a main floor and two balconies. There is also an 8,000-person outdoor ICON Festival Stage at Smale Park, which legendary Rock group Foo Fighters will inaugurate on July 28.
