Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts comes by its status as an iconic Valley cultural hub honestly.
The 100,000-square-foot venue, designed by famed architect Bennie Gonzales, debuted in 1975 and has welcomed countless audiences to concerts, comedy shows and performing arts for more than 50 years.
Legendary artists like Elvis Costello, Steve Martin, Bob Dylan and Liza Minelli have all played Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts over the decades.
More notable names will join that list over the next year. Scottsdale Center for the Arts 2026-27 lineup features performances by singer-songwriter Paula Cole, avant-garde dance company BalletX and family-friendly fare like Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock. Here’s a complete rundown of every show coming to the venue.
