Downtown

Downtown Grand Rapids packs a wide range of live-music formats into a walkable core. At the top end, Van Andel Arena hosts the biggest touring acts in a venue with a seating capacity of over 12,000. GLC Live at 20 Monroe, launched in 2017 through a partnership with Live Nation's House of Blues Entertainment division, fills the mid-size gap with concerts across all genres, comedy, and other live events. The venue holds 2,500+ guests. DeVos Performance Hall opened in 1980 as a dedicated home for the city's performing arts organizations, including the Grand Rapids Symphony, Grand Rapids Ballet, Broadway Grand Rapids, and Opera Grand Rapids. Its 2,543 seats have also welcomed major popular-music names over the years. On the more intimate end, St. Cecilia Music Center runs annual jazz, folk, and classical concert series in a beautifully restored 1894 landmark building whose 630-seat auditorium is considered one of the finest recital halls in the country, having welcomed artists such as Chick Corea, Judy Collins, and Arturo Sandoval. Fountain Street Church, a neo-Romanesque structure built in 1925, seats up to 1,500 for occasional concerts and has hosted acts ranging from U2 and Arlo Guthrie to NEEDTOBREATHE and Larkin Poe. Mojo's Dueling Piano Bar rounds out the scene with its interactive format, and The B.O.B. adds a nightlife dimension. Numerous other downtown bars and restaurants offer live music on a regular basis, often without a cover charge.
