James Brown's name returns to Augusta's new entertainment complex
The new Augusta Entertainment Complex will be named for music legend and Augusta native James Brown. The Augusta-Richmond County Coliseum Authority voted Tuesday unanimously to name the rebuilt performance venue for the Grammy-winning performer remembered as "the Godfather of Soul" and "the Hardest Working Man in Show Business," the authority announced. Apples and oranges: Augusta Dollar General adds produce in a city with food deserts "James Brown was more than a musical legend. He was Augusta’s own, and he never forgot where he came from,” said Cedric Johnson, chairman of the Coliseum Authority, in prepared remarks. "His music changed the world, but his heart was always here in Augusta.

Custom installations and displays inside the new arena will further honor Brown, according to the authority. The naming is subject to approval by Primary Wave, the music publishing and marketing company that acquired the singer's estate and his music catalog in December 2021 for an estimated $90 million. The community held its breath for more than a year after Johnson told the Augusta Commission in July 2025
