McMenamins Crystal Ballroom tickets & upcoming events

If you’re into live music venues with character, the McMenamins Crystal Ballroom in Portland is where you want to be. This place isn’t just a concert hall; it’s a Portland icon packed with history and good vibes. The ballroom’s famous for hosting late-night shows that keep the party going well past bedtime, with bands like Spoon hitting the stage on june 16, 2017, and leaving fans buzzing. The vibe is super relaxed, and they often throw in dance classes before shows, which is a fun way to get everyone moving. You’ll find open entry areas that turn into spontaneous dance-offs, seriously, I’ve seen strangers turn into dance partners in a heartbeat. Sitting on the ground level during a show can be pretty special too, especially when the artist makes it personal and gets close to the crowd. For a chill pre-show walk, I recommend strolling along the river and crossing the bridge before heading inside. If you’re coming from Vancouver, just hop on I-5 south and take the Burnside Avenue exit. Want tickets? Keep an eye on their site for upcoming shows, because they regularly host top acts like The Lox or Lucki, with options ranging from VIP sections to budget-friendly seats. Whether you're a seasoned concertgoer or just looking for a memorable night, the Crystal Ballroom never disappoints.
