Feb. 16, 2023, 7:35 a.m.Rendering courtesy of the Lollar GroupGautier, Miss., is getting a new 6,500-seat amphitheater, with backers saying it’ll begin bringing top acts to a site 45 minutes from downtown Mobile starting in spring of next year.
“When planning, we focused on the amphitheater itself and the on-site revenue, but that just scratches the surface of the actual impact,” said Gautier Mayor Casey Vaughan. “The entire region will be significantly impacted as it relates to hotels, restaurants, bars and gas stations.” “We were looking for one word that represents both our area and our purpose in this amphitheater,” said Paula Yancey, Gautier City Manager, said in a new release issued after the groundbreaking. “As you know, we are located on the Mississippi Sound, and now you will hear the sounds of major performers coming from this beautiful amphitheater, named The Sound.”
46 Entertainment was involved in producing a November 2021 Morgan Wallen concert that drew an unprecedented 31,000 people to Mobile’s fairgrounds. At the show, Shane Quick of Premier Productions, co-owner and co-producer of Rock the South, took the stage to thank Mobile officials for the hospitality. “Maybe we should do a festival like this in Mobile,” he said., Baugh said he had plans to move from Nashville back to Baldwin County.
