General admission eats include “Koko\u2019s Bavarian” specialties, like an all-beef hot dog, brats from Austin, Texas, that Derieux considers among the best on the market, and salted soft pretzels. There are also calzones featuring Sheboygan Pasty Co., Badger popcorn, Frito Lays chips and boxed movie theater-style candy.<\/p>\n\nFor drink options, there’s beer, including from Third Space Brewing and 3 Sheeps Brewing; hard seltzers and iced tea; shaker cup cocktails; spirits; nonalcoholic beverages, including “Riffreshers,” Liquid Death water and iced tea, Red Bull, sodas and NA Athletic Brewing beer; and more.<\/p>\n
A look at The Vinyl Room, an exclusive for premium ticketholders<\/h2>\n
Walking up to the Vinyl Room, you get a taste of what you’re in for. The words “Vinyl Room” \u2013 cut out as if they’re centered around a record \u2013 are at the center of a large wooden shelving unit filled with records and plants \u2013 what you’d expect from a trendy friend’s aesthetic living room. The wooden host stand is like an art piece itself, dotted with speakers. A simple lighting fixture made out of records hangs from the ceiling above.<\/p>\n\nThe hall leading to the lounge is decked out with wooden record-sized cubbies with vinyls on display.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\nThe room is seeping in natural light with floor-to-ceiling windows covering the entire east-facing wall. It also peaks through the shelving of the bar’s backdrop, which is adorned with records, bottles, music gadgets, greenery and glassware. Along the long, curved bar are green plush chairs and a DJ setup to spin vinyls.<\/p>\n
Music memorabilia, including album covers, pictures and posters \u2013 a number with local ties \u2013 hang on the room’s southern wall. Antique store-looking finds are mixed in, from framed 3-D copper animal images to a red UW pennant. The center of that wall has another wooden unit filled with records, with a long retro-looking patterned sofa below.<\/p>\n\nAnother wall, plastered with colorful concert posters, features three U-shaped booths. There’s a variety of seating throughout the space.<\/p>\n\nThe room was designed to give a “deep nod” to the rich history of music and live entertainment in Milwaukee, Plant said. An example of that is a photo of KISS performing at the Bradley Center. Landmark was built on the center’s former site.<\/p>\n
From small plates to a Waygu beef burger, the Vinyl Room boasts a “restaurant dining experience” that’s “rooted in Japanese and Southeast Asian influences,” Derieux said. It’s worth noting that food is an additional charge.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\nHighlights from the menu, Derieux said, include fried gyoza, tossed in a chili crunch and served with green onions and sesame seeds; a “light and fresh” cucumber salad featuring cucumbers marinated in rice vinegar and finished with benne seeds and sesame oil; lobster dip, a twist on fish dip, with grilled lobster, a whipped tofu base, and lobster tom kha served with shrimp chips for dipping.<\/p>\n
“It’s the best place to hang in the entire venue when you’re not watching the show,” Plant said.<\/p>\n
Plant envisions that this space, which also has a patio, will be used for private and community events throughout the year.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nVIP Terrace with patio, bar and other food options<\/h2>\n
The VIP terrace, a purchasable upgrade on the third level, features a large covered patio overlooking the city, another bar, exclusive food options, and more.<\/p>\n
Food options on that level include Rebel Hen, a chicken tender concept, that serves “not just your average concessions chicken tender,” with crispy cornflake breading, as well as wings, Derieux said. There’s also a take on the classic smash burger with burger sauce, American cheese and caramelized onions, and a veggie burger.<\/p>\n\nThis spot will also be used for private and community events, Plant noted.<\/p>\n
Back of house, the artists’ ‘home away from home’<\/h2>\n
“The back of house is kind of a home away from home for artists and their crew,” Plant said.<\/p>\n
The care put into the design and outfitting of that space was crucial to ensure that artists have a pleasant, easy, fun and memorable time while in Milwaukee, Plant said, so that they “want to come back and play again and again.”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\nThere are spaces for artists and their teams to hang out, as well as dressing rooms, and shower and laundry facilities.<\/p>\n\nOn the Feb. 25 tour, the Journal Sentinel got to see the “entourage room,” where the artist’s friends and family can chill. It’s vibey, with records lining the top of an entertainment center that has a giant screen at the center, a record player, a variety of brown and black leather seating, colorful Milwaukee-centric artwork, a kitchenette, a private bathroom, and a window that overlooks the stage.<\/p>\n
What a show day is expected to look like<\/h2>\n
Newport walked us through what he anticipates a typical show day will look like at Landmark:<\/p>\n
Some personnel will be there, starting around 7 a.m., to make sure dressing rooms are ready, hospitality is taken care of, and to greet artists when they arrive. Stage hands will be on deck to unload trucks as they come in.<\/p>\n
“Usually the show, for the most part, is in before noon,” he said.<\/p>\n
From around noon until early afternoon, artists may want to explore downtown while techs tweak equipment.<\/p>\n\nWhen doors open, “it’s showtime for us,” Newport said, greeting fans and making sure lines aren’t too long.<\/p>\n\n“We often say that if we’re doing our jobs well, shows are the easiest thing we do,” he said.<\/p>\n
On non-show days, he added, the team will spend most of its time preparing for show days.<\/p>\n
The Landmark team is made up of around 250 people, with an additional 200-ish who are part of the food and beverage operation, according to Newport.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
