PHX Arena 2025 schedule: every concert announced so far

Downtown Phoenix isn’t short on places to catch a concert, but few match the epic vibes and iconic status of PHX Arena. Since debuting 33 years ago as America West Arena, the 17,071-person venue at Jefferson and Second streets has hosted thousands of gigs by touring artists.

Sure, it’s widely known as the home court of the Phoenix Suns — hence its longtime moniker as the “Purple Palace” — but where PHX Arena truly comes alive is as a concert venue. It’s experienced a few name changes — most recently being known as Footprint Center — but has still been lit up over the decades by the likes of U2, Garth Brooks, Bruce Springsteen, Madonna and the late Frank Sinatra. It’s also hosted the high-energy, full-throttle shows of modern-day superstars like Kendrick Lamar, Olivia Rodrigo and Ariana Grande.

PHX Arena has a legendary lineup on deck for the rest of 2025. So far this year, it’s seen standout performances from Kelsea Ballerini, Kylie Minogue and Heart. And there’s more legendary gigs on the way — Wu-Tang Clan is set to play their first Phoenix show in decades, Nine Inch Nails is bringing their latest tour in September and homegrown rock star Stevie Nicks will return to the Valley this fall. It’s even hosting a tour by J-pop star Ado.
