Live Entertainment in Morgantown

123 Pleasant Street is Morgantown's most celebrated live music venue — a 500-capacity downtown club that books national touring indie, folk, rock, and alternative acts for the West Virginia University community. The venue serves one of America's most passionate college bar cities — Morgantown has perennially ranked among America's top college towns by WVU's enormous enrollment and the city's compact, walkable entertainment district concentrated around High Street and Willey Avenue.

WVU Coliseum is West Virginia's most important entertainment arena — a Morgantown venue presenting major concerts and WVU Mountaineers athletics for one of America's most passionate college athletic communities. WVU's extraordinary couch-burning traditions (Morgantown has become famous for the passion of its college sports celebration culture) and the Coliseum's consistent programming of outstanding entertainment create an arena of genuine West Virginia community significance.

WVU's Creative Arts Center presents outstanding theatrical productions and concerts for Morgantown's remarkable university community. WVU's extraordinary combination of passionate Mountaineer athletic culture, outstanding academic programs, and genuine West Virginia community character creates a performing arts venue reflecting the most complex and interesting state character in Appalachia.

Milan Puskar Stadium at WVU presents Big 12 college football for one of the most passionate college football fan bases in America — a Morgantown stadium where "The Backyard Brawl" (WVU vs. Pitt, one of college football's most intense rivalries) and the legendary pre-game couch-burning tradition create game-day experiences of remarkable American college football community cultural significance.

WVU Creative Arts Center is West Virginia's premier performing arts venue — presenting the West Virginia Symphony's Morgantown series, WVU Schools of Music and Theater productions, and major touring cultural performances. The center's role as the primary venue for high-quality performing arts programming in a state that genuinely needs accessible cultural education creates a mission that goes beyond entertainment to serve a broader social purpose.
