Street without a concert hall (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

venue

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'concert hall' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.

'street without a' is the wordplay.
'street' becomes 'avenue' (avenue is a kind of street).
'without' suggests deleting specific letters.
'avenue' with 'a' removed is 'VENUE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for venue that I've seen before include "Location for a performance" , "Event location" , "Something is happening here" , "place to meet" , "Appointed place or location" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
