More than two decades after opening, Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale is shining brightly. The 20,000-person venue next to the Westgate Entertainment District is not only the largest arena in the Valley, but it’s also become one of the metro Phoenix concert scene’s crown jewels.

What began as a home for the now-defunct Arizona Coyotes back in 2004 – when it was known as Glendale Arena – has been polished into a top-tier concert destination.

A slew of legendary names have staged epic shows over the years. Paul McCartney, Prince and Rod Stewart have all performed at the arena, as have U2, Justin Timberlake, The Weeknd, Ed Sheeran and dozens of other superstars.

Desert Diamond Arena’s 2025 concert lineup also boasts many famous names. Latin stars like Intocable and Chelo. Hip-hop kings Ice Cube and NBA YoungBoy. And pop artists like Benson Boone, Laufey and Korean act Ateez. Here’s the complete schedule of shows coming to the venue this year.
