Live Entertainment in Hartford

Bushnell Center for the Performing Arts is Connecticut's premiere performing arts institution — a 2,800-seat Hartford theater presenting the Hartford Symphony, Broadway touring productions, and major cultural events for the Hartford metropolitan area. The Bushnell's extraordinary architectural grandeur (a 1930 Neo-classical landmark adjacent to the State Capitol) and its role as the primary performing arts destination for central Connecticut create a cultural institution of the highest importance to Connecticut's artistic and civic life.

XFINITY Theatre Hartford is Connecticut's largest outdoor concert venue — a 30,000-capacity amphitheater presenting the biggest rock, pop, and country touring acts for the greater Hartford metropolitan area. Hartford's position in the densely populated Connecticut River Valley, between the enormous New York and Boston markets, creates a concert market drawing from one of America's most concentrated populations.

Infinity Music Hall is Connecticut's premier intimate concert venue — a 500-capacity hall with outstanding acoustic design and sightlines that books national touring artists at the club level for Hartford's arts community. Founded on the principles of providing genuinely great concert experiences in a venue that prioritizes listener quality over capacity, Infinity has earned a devoted following and hosts both the Hartford location and a sister venue in Norfolk CT.
