With a number of concert venues either shut down or under renovation, many entertainers are skipping Oahu and pretty much the entire state, forcing many local residents to travel out of state to see them perform. The number of venues available is limited.
The city as well as the state keep boasting about how Kapolei is the “Second City.” If they want that vision to come to fruition, they should build a new venue for concerts, graduations and more, perhaps somewhere in or near Kalaeloa, Campbell Industrial Park or the University of Hawaii-West Oahu campus.
