Desert Diamond Arena
Audio By Carbonatix
Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale is a crown jewel among metro Phoenix concert destinations. The 20,000-seat venue near the Westgate Entertainment District has now become a regular stop for big-name artists and major tours.
After years as the home of the now-defunct Arizona Coyotes, the 23-year-old arena is shining brighter in the local concert scene. A steady run of high-profile shows and a major overhaul have helped reshape it into one of the Valley’s busiest stages for live music.
In 2025, the venue completed a major renovation. In August, we reported: “The $42M transformation is more than an expensive makeover; it’s an extensive transformation that includes four new premium spaces: Bassline Bar, Encore Club on Three, Studio 623 and The View Lounge & Bar. Each has its own set of features that provide specific experiences, from more intimate group settings to larger mix-and-mingle spheres.”
Desert Diamond Arena’s 2026 concert lineup also boasts many famous names. Pop stars like Demi Lovato and Megan Moroney. Latin favorites like Carin Leon and Palomazo Norteno. Even Japanese vocaloid virtual singer Hatsune Miku is set to perform at the venue. Here’s the complete schedule of shows coming to the venue this year.
