Live Entertainment in Tampa

Tampa's outdoor concert scene serves one of the fastest-growing metropolitan areas in America — a Gulf Coast city whose extraordinary population growth, diverse demographics, and vibrant sports culture create consistent demand for outdoor summer concerts of the highest quality.

Tampa's Ybor City entertainment district hosts Gasparilla-inspired concert events at multiple outdoor venues — a historic cigar-rolling neighborhood where Cuban, Spanish, and Italian immigrant heritage creates one of America's most atmospheric entertainment environments. Ybor City's extraordinary preservation of its historic brick-paved streets and its vibrant contemporary bar and music scene create a concert setting of genuine historical character.

Straz Center for the Performing Arts (formerly Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center) is the largest performing arts complex in the southeastern United States — a four-theater campus presenting Broadway touring productions, Tampa Bay Symphony, Opera Tampa, and major performances for Florida's most rapidly growing major city. Its ambitious programming across multiple theater configurations serves Tampa's diversifying cultural audience with everything from Opera to Chris Rock.
