Live Entertainment in Richmond

Altria Theater is Richmond's grandest historic venue — a 3,500-seat 1927 Loew's Theater restored to extraordinary splendor that presents Broadway touring productions, major concerts, and large-scale performances for Virginia's capital city. The theater's sumptuous Baroque interior and world-class Broadway programming make it one of the most impressive performance venues south of Washington DC, serving a metropolitan Richmond market that increasingly includes gaming visitors from the new Rivers Casino.

Eastern Kentucky University presents concerts and cultural events for the Bluegrass Region's most important southeastern community. EKU's remarkable Colonel athletics tradition and Richmond's genuine central Kentucky community character create a concert venue serving the most distinctively Appalachian-adjacent section of the Bluegrass.

Richmond Raceway is one of NASCAR's most beloved short tracks — a .75-mile oval where the world's most sophisticated race cars compete in one of the most exciting racing formats in motorsports. Richmond's extraordinary racing heritage and the track's remarkable fan atmosphere (the Toyota Owners 400 and the Federated Auto Parts 400 are two of NASCAR's most anticipated short-track events) create motorsports experiences of genuine American racing cultural significance.

Richmond's sports and entertainment arena market serves Virginia's capital city with concerts, family entertainment, and professional sports events in the city's downtown entertainment complex. Richmond's extraordinary growth and its position as the cultural center of Virginia create consistent demand for indoor entertainment programming that serves the most historically significant city in the South.

The National is Richmond's most beloved concert venue — a 1,800-capacity 1923 Egyptian Revival theater in Monroe Ward that has been beautifully restored as one of the Mid-Atlantic's finest mid-size concert rooms. With exquisite sight lines, superb sound, and consistent bookings of national touring artists across indie, rock, and alternative genres, The National has elevated Richmond's reputation as one of the East Coast's most music-passionate cities, serving Virginia's capital alongside the city's growing gaming market.
