Live music is coming back to Sacramento and California. So is the theater.
As the state emerges from more than a year of pandemic-forced closures on June 15, we’ve compiled a list of venues in the Sacramento region of Northern California that have plans to bring back live entertainment.
There are some big shows coming to the region this year. The newly-renovated SAFE Credit Union Performing Arts Center – formerly the Community Center Theater – in downtown Sacramento hosts “Hamilton.” And Colombian music superstar Maluma reopens Golden 1 Center to live music.
Here’s our guide to more than a dozen spots across the region, big and small, and links to where to find tickets. Know of another venue or event worth highlighting? Drop us an email.
