History of The Rebel Lounge

The venue is celebrating 11 years as The Rebel Lounge, but its history as a spot for local music stretches much farther back. The building operated as The Mason Jar from 1979 to 2005, and generations of musicians performed there. Red Hot Chili Peppers and Fishbone played their first-ever Phoenix shows at the Jar in 1985. Nirvana, Tool, Pearl Jam, Green Day, Stone Temple Pilots, The Black Keys, Linkin Park, 30 Seconds to Mars and Fall Out Boy are just a few of the acts that graced the stage.

Concert promoter Stephen Chilton of Psyko Steve Presents bought the building in 2015 and reopened it as The Rebel Lounge. In the past 11 years, the venue has hosted more than 3,000 concerts and events, racked up plenty of Phoenix New Times Best of Phoenix awards and been recognized as the best small music venue in the U.S. by Billboard magazine in 2024.
