Encyclopedia
Jannus Live is an open-air concert venue in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida
, named after Tony Jannus
. It plays host to various acts, both nationally prominent and local.
The venue also contains a nightclub separate from the concert area itself. It is known for its twin poles on stage and in the audience area, with a circus-tent-like tarp across the top. Davey Havok
has been quoted in an interview with Tampa's 97X that the pole in the audience is covered in a kind of goo, which is supposedly meant to keep fans from climbing the poles.
Owner, Jack Bodziak, was arrested by state agents in May on charges that he failed to pay more than $200,000 in sales tax on revenues from Jannus Landing. He also owed a reported $160,000 in back rent and faced eviction. Many of the shows scheduled to perform at Jannus Landing were rescheduled for The RITZ Ybor in Tampa
, FL.
