Live Music in Flagstaff

By day or night, live music can be enjoyed at parks, concert venues, nightclubs, or festivals, indoors or outside as the season’s permit. For those in search of the eclectic, we got that. Historic and hippie chic, those boxes are also checked. Lookin’ for an ol’ wood floor where boot scootin’ was happening long before it was a “thing” — yep, have those, too. 

Flagstaff pulses with the rhythmic heartbeat of a vibrant live music scene, making it a must-visit destination for music enthusiasts. Nestled beneath the shadow of the San Francisco Peaks, the city's venues come alive with the soul-stirring tunes of local and touring artists. From intimate acoustic sets in cozy cafes to the electrifying energy of live bands in historic theaters, Flagstaff offers a diverse array of musical experiences. Whether you're drawn to the melodic notes of folk, the invigorating beats of rock, or the smooth vibes of jazz, the city's stages cater to all tastes. With a community that values and embraces the power of live music, Flagstaff provides an immersive and unforgettable sonic journey for both residents and visitors, solidifying its status as a hub for musical discovery and expression.

And for fellow performers themselves, there are plenty of open mic and karaoke opportunities too!
