Nile Theater 2025 schedule: every show announced so far

Some things only get better with age. Case in point: Mesa venue, The Nile Theater. The century-old establishment turned 100 last year and is now one of the Valley’s busiest and most versatile live music hubs.

The Nile debuted in 1924 as an Egyptian-themed movie palace. But it didn’t become a concert hotspot until 1994, when punk, hip-hop and goth/industrial shows took over the place. Notable acts like Marilyn Manson, Swingin’ Utters and a then-unknown Blink-182 all played here as the Nile thrived.

Then came the dark days when violent crime and illegal drug use tied to gigs forced the venue’s closure in the early 2000s.

Years later, the Nile roared back in 2010 when its current owners gave it a second life. These days, it’s become a full-blown concert complex. The 850-person main room and its enormous hosts bigger acts like Against Me! and Yellowcard, while a smaller basement-level venue, The Underground, operates downstairs and offers ragers by punk, hardcore and indie bands.

The Nile has been just as busy as ever in 2025. So far this year, it’s featured shows by A Skylit Drive, Soulja Boy, Buzzcocks and Bayside, just to name a few. Artists set to perform at the Mesa venue in the months ahead include rappers Tee Grizzley and Lil Tracy, metal legends Vader and indie favorites Autoheart and Sir Chloe.
