Akron

Akron has a rich musical heritage, particularly in jazz. Mid-century Howard Street was a national destination, drawing Dizzy Gillespie, Count Basie, and other legends. The city was also once considered the punk capital of the Midwest, and today a new generation of independent artists performs alongside regional and national acts at longstanding venues year-round. The Akron Civic Theatre is a 2,600-seat venue covering music concerts, performance theater, and comedy. The complex also includes the Knight Stage and Wild Oscar's. It books a wide range of genres, having welcomed artists such as Ray LaMontagne and Devo. E.J. Thomas Performing Arts Hall, also part of a cluster of downtown venues, contributes to more than 500 marquee events per year in Akron alongside Lock 3 and Goodyear Theatre. The Akron Symphony Orchestra performs regularly at E.J. Thomas. Lock 3 Live hosts live local music under the stars throughout the summer. Musica, in Downtown Akron's Historic Arts District, books indie rock to electronic, with local and touring artists, DJs, and comedians. Afterlife Nightclub, in the Goodyear Heights neighborhood, is one of Akron's newer concert clubs, covering national touring acts, local favorites, and karaoke on Thursdays, with a free arcade of over 15,000 classic game titles on site. Jilly's Music Room rounds out the downtown bar-based live music options.
