The new 12,500-seat venue will be located in the Cohen Entertainment District in the northeast.
"Developed through a public-private partnership with the City of El Paso and backed by a $31.5 million performance-based incentive package, the Sunset Amphitheater is targeted to open in the fourth quarter of 2026," a spokesperson explained.
