Catching a show at the Celebrity Theatre is one of Phoenix’s most unique concertgoing experiences. The historic 2,650-seat venue’s in-the-round setup and rotating stage sets it apart from other local live music destinations.
Then there’s its vibe. The Celebrity, which debuted in 1963 as the Star Theatre, offers arena-level energy in a mid-sized setting, with legendary artists and high-profile touring acts performing intimate shows. Last year, it was named one of the top 10 independent nt venues in the United States based on ticket demand.
So far in 2026, the Celebrity Theatre has hosted concerts by Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Gladys Knight and members of the Eagles of Death Metal performing a David Bowie tribute. More big names are headed to the venue before year’s end, including Rick Ross, Art Garfunkel, Chris Isaak and Alice Cooper’s annual Christmas Pudding fundraiser.
Here’s a look at every upcoming concert at the Celebrity Theatre in 2026.
