The Van Buren anchors Phoenix’s live music scene

Date:

Located in the Roosevelt Row district of Phoenix, also known as RoRo, The Van Buren has established itself as one of the downtown area’s premier live music venues.

Known for its historic, industrial charm, excellent acoustics, and central location, The Van Buren opened in August 2017 inside a converted 1930s-era car dealership. Owned by Live Nation Entertainment, it has quickly become a top-tier venue in the city for live music in the city, providing easy access to local dining and transport.

The space is defined by its two massive chandeliers, bold statement floor tiles, and grand windows that overlook West Van Buren Street. Original brickwork and steel trusses contribute to its signature cool, historic atmosphere, while the venue layout ensures great views of the stage from nearly anywhere on the floor.

Initially, the venue opened with a sold-out show featuring Joywave and Cold War Kids, and has since hosted a diverse lineup of rock, R&B, pop, and alternative artists including Billie Eilish, Nick Jonas, Lord Huron, and St. Vincent.
