The Van Buren — Phoenix, AZ

Legendary Venue, Epic Private Events!

The Van Buren is an 1,800-1,900-capacity concert venue in downtown Phoenix, converted from a 1929 historic Phoenix Motor Company automotive showroom building (designed by Lescher and Mahoney, who also designed the Orpheum Theatre). Opened in August 2017, the venue is owned/operated by Live Nation and hosts nationally touring artists across genres as well as private/corporate events, weddings, and community events. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
