LaureLive Moving Locations In 2020

SHAKER HEIGHTS, OH — LaureLive will move to a new location in 2020. Festival organizers said the new site has not yet been determined.

Growing attendance at the festival has mandated a new location, the organizers said.

"The school has been a fabulous partner and we thank them very much," said festival executive producer Steve Lindecke. "We have been planning this move for several months and have identified a number of great locations in and around the city of Cleveland. We are excited about the possibilities and plan to stage this festival for many years to come. But now, all focus turns to June 8-9 as we expect this year be our biggest festival yet."

The upcoming 2019 festival will be held June 8 and June 9. This year's performers include Hozier, Sheryl Crow, Dirty Heads and others.

"We cannot thank our fans and Laurel School enough for making this festival the success it has become," Elevation Group president Denny Young said. "If you were at LaureLive last year, you will remember the huge crowds that turned out to see some of world's best musical artists. LaureLive 2019 is on pace to be even bigger and at our current growth trajectory, the Laurel School Board of Trustees believe that we will simply outgrow the Butler Campus and its infrastructure."

LaureLive faced competition in 2018 from the InCuya festival, held in downtown Cleveland. However, InCuya was cancelled after one festival, leaving the market for Northeast Ohio music festivals wide open.
