The Fox Theatre is Boulder's main live music venue and has been a fixture of the city's music scene since 1926. The theatre hosts national touring acts and local performers in a mid-sized setting (capacity around 625) that feels intimate for the calibre of musicians who regularly play here. Genres run from rock and indie to electronic and hip-hop.
The theatre is located on 13th Street on "The Hill," the neighbourhood immediately adjacent to the University of Colorado campus, surrounded by student bars and restaurants. Tickets sell out for popular shows; check the schedule well in advance. The venue also hosts the Colorado Shakespeare Festival events.
