Live music and Buffalo's Waterfront have always been in perfect harmony.

For a long time, temporary pop-up stages have been the platform for many concerts in the Outer Harbor and Canalside, but soon there could be a new permanent concert amphitheater on the water.

Buffalo Business First reports plans for the proposed 8,000 seat venue are currently under review by the Buffalo Common Council.

The next step is for the Buffalo Planning Board to give approval to the project. That is expected to happen by early summer.

Following approval, the project will be put out for bids by developers by late fall. If this happens, the new venue could be open for concerts and events by 2023.

Plans call for the amphitheater to be located at the site of the former Tops Markets LLC warehouse, known as Terminal B., at 901 Fuhrmann Blvd.

According to planners, the current warehouse would be stripped to its supports and rebuilt to fit the design of the amphitheater.

The plans look really interesting, with the warehouse structure serving as space for the main stage enclosure, while preserving the view of the water behind it.

Once the Outer Harbor venue is built, Buffalo Business First reports it is likely that the Canalside concert series will make the new Outer Harbor amphitheater its new home.

The proposed concert and event venue is one of the largest projects in the city's 20-year, $151 million Outer Harbor development plan.

LOOK: Here are the 50 best beach towns in America

Every beach town has its share of pluses and minuses, which got us thinking about what makes a beach town the best one to live in. To find out, Stacker consulted data from WalletHub, released June 17, 2020, that compares U.S. beach towns. Ratings are based on six categories: affordability, weather, safety, economy, education and health, and quality of life. The cities ranged in population from 10,000 to 150,000, but they had to have at least one local beach listed on TripAdvisor. Read the full methodology here. From those rankings, we selected the top 50. Readers who live in California and Florida will be unsurprised to learn that many of towns featured here are in one of those two states.
