The 4,000-seat theater has a capacity between the indoor and outdoor portions of North Shore\u2019s Stage AE. Those involved with the project say acts of similar popularity will likely play at the Wylie. <\/p>\n<p>Who would you like to see play at Citizens Live at the Wylie?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-content --><\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- .entry-footer --><\/p>\n<div class=\"author-bio\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/nextpittsburgh.com\/author\/staffnp\/\" rel=\"author\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"author-bio-text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<!-- .author-bio-header --><\/p>\n<p>The staff at NEXTpittsburgh writes about the people driving change in the region and the innovative and cool things happening here.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"author-link\" href=\"https:\/\/nextpittsburgh.com\/author\/staffnp\/\" rel=\"author\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMore by NEXT staff\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- .author-bio-text --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- .author-bio --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source nextpittsburgh.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Construction on the new 4,000-seat music venue at 1201 Wylie Ave. is \u201con track\u201d and moving \u201ctoward opening this fall,\u201d according to a communications spokesperson representing Live Nation.
