Jannus Live, Music venue in Downtown St. Petersburg, United States.

Jannus Live is an open-air courtyard music venue in the Downtown St. Petersburg Historic District, entered beneath a white fabric awning on a red brick wall bearing a circular graphic of a vintage microphone in red and black over a yellow starburst, with the name "Jannus" in black script below. The courtyard is covered by a circus-tent-like tarp stretched across twin poles, one on the stage and one in the audience area, and a row of red metal barricades runs along the brick wall. A nightclub, Club Detroit, has a small balcony overlooking the concerts.

Jannus Landing opened in 1984, founded by Bob Barnes, Bill Pendergast and Gene Bryant and named after pilot Tony Jannus, to draw reggae and punk shows to Tampa Bay; at first only local bands played. Red Hot Chili Peppers were the first mainstream act, in December 1987, and their 1989 return brought noise-ordinance fines that nearly closed the venue. Owner Jack Bodziak was arrested in May 2009 over more than $200,000 in unpaid sales tax; the venue reopened in March 2010 as Jannus Live under Jeff Knight and Bill Edwards, with suites, a lounge and a koi pond added.

The venue is named after pilot Tony Jannus, and its courtyard stage is framed by twin poles with a circus-tent-like tarp overhead. A separate nightclub, Club Detroit, has a small balcony overlooking the concerts. The audience pole is coated with a goo meant to stop fans from climbing it, as Davey Havok noted in a WSUN-FM interview.

The venue is located in the downtown area and easily accessible from nearby parking lots and public transportation stops. Guests should come prepared for changing weather and wear comfortable shoes since most of the crowd stands throughout performances.
