Crescent Ballroom
Audio By Carbonatix
Crescent Ballroom forever changed downtown Phoenix‘s concert game. Opened in 2011 by famed Arizona promoter Charlie Levy, the urbane venue and nightlife destination along Second Avenue isn’t just a place to catch a show; it also redefined the area as a live music hub.
At a time when many thought downtown Phoenix was largely dead after dark, packed crowds at Crescent’s 500-person concert hall and adjacent cocktail lounge proved otherwise. Its success helped pave the way for future venues while holding its own as a must-see concert spot.
With sleek style, stellar acoustics, and bleacher-style seating, Crescent Ballroom’s jam-packed show calendar has been populated by everything from indie, hip-hop and EDM artists to folk, punk, jazz and Latin bands over the past 14 years. And the place shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
Its 2025 has included shows from Magic Sword, Broncho, MURS, Bishop Briggs and Los Amigos Invisibles. Next up: A busy fall with gigs by Pete Yorn, Built to Spill, Boris, Duckwrth and English punk legends GBH. Here’s a look at every upcoming concert at Crescent Ballroom in 2025.
