Live Entertainment in Honolulu

Blaisdell Concert Hall is Hawaii's most important concert venue — a 2,158-seat Honolulu hall presenting the Hawaii Symphony Orchestra, Broadway touring productions, and major concerts for the most geographically isolated major city in the United States. Hawaii's extraordinary position as the most remote populated location on Earth creates a concert market where the logistics of touring (an 8-hour flight from Los Angeles) create unusual scarcity and value for major performances.

Waikiki Beach's outdoor sports culture creates the most extraordinary athletic entertainment environment in America — a beach where outrigger canoe races, beach volleyball tournaments, and ocean sports competitions take place beneath the gaze of Duke Kahanamoku's statue (the "Father of Surfing"). Hawaii's profound connection to ocean sports and the cultural significance of Duke Kahanamoku (five Olympic gold medals, the inventor of modern surfing's global spread) create a sports entertainment environment of unparalleled Hawaiian cultural resonance.

Hawaii's golf and water sports culture creates a sports entertainment ecosystem unlike any other in America — a state where ocean sports (outrigger canoe, stand-up paddle, surfing, fishing), golf (some of the world's finest courses on Maui and the Big Island), and the extraordinary terrain create sporting opportunities available nowhere else in the United States. Hawaiian sports culture is inseparable from the natural environment, creating sporting events of extraordinary geographical beauty.

Hawaii Theatre is Honolulu's most beloved historic performance venue — a stunning 1922 Beaux Arts "Pride of the Pacific" theater presenting Broadway touring shows, concerts, and cultural events in one of the finest restored theatrical interiors in the Pacific. Its extraordinary Spanish-Moorish interior (hand-painted ceilings, gilded plasterwork) and its role as the anchor of Chinatown Honolulu's extraordinary arts district create a performance experience of genuine Pacific historical significance.

Les Murakami Stadium is one of the most beautiful university baseball venues in America — a University of Hawaii facility where tropical baseball in the Pacific sunshine creates the most uniquely atmospheric college baseball environment in the United States. UH baseball's extraordinary tradition and the stadium's remarkable setting (palm trees, tropical flowers, and the Ko'olau mountains) create a baseball experience shaped by Hawaii's unique natural beauty.

Neal Blaisdell Arena is Hawaii's largest indoor concert venue — an 8,800-capacity Honolulu arena presenting major rock, pop, and country tours for the Pacific's most isolated major city. As the only major indoor arena in Hawaii, Blaisdell receives artists who specifically route tours through Honolulu as a destination engagement, creating a concert market where every major show is an event of unusual significance.

Neal Blaisdell Center is Hawaii's primary large-scale entertainment complex — an 8,800-seat arena and 2,158-seat concert hall that serves as Honolulu's anchor venue for major touring artists, Broadway productions, and large-scale sports events. As the only major arena in the Hawaiian Islands, Blaisdell brings nationally touring acts to a geographically isolated market of 1.4 million residents who deserve world-class entertainment equal to their mainland counterparts.

Stan Sheriff Center is home to the University of Hawaii Rainbow Warriors volleyball team — one of the most extraordinary sports programs in the Pacific, where Hawaiian pride and the unique volleyball culture of Asia and the Pacific create the most passionate indoor sports atmosphere in Hawaii. UH volleyball's consistent national championships and its role as a source of extraordinary Hawaiian community pride create sporting events of unusual emotional intensity.

Waikiki Shell is Hawaii's most magical outdoor concert venue — a 7,500-capacity open-air amphitheatre in Kapiolani Park at the base of Diamond Head crater, where performances take place under the stars with the iconic volcanic backdrop behind the stage. The Shell hosts the Hawaii Symphony Orchestra's summer season, major touring acts, and the annual Aloha Festivals concerts, creating unforgettable entertainment experiences unique to Honolulu's tropical setting.

Waikiki Shell is Hawaii's most beloved outdoor concert venue — a 6,000-capacity open-air amphitheater in Kapiolani Park presenting concerts and cultural events against the backdrop of Diamond Head and the Pacific sky. The Shell's extraordinary natural setting at the base of Diamond Head and its role as Hawaii's most iconic outdoor cultural venue create concert experiences shaped by the most beautiful outdoor setting in American entertainment.
