Where to Go After an Event at Arrowhead Stadium<\/h2>\n

Kansas City has a number of thriving entertainment options, though live music and other nightlife is primarily concentrated in the city\u2019s downtown Power and & Light District. Below, dive into some of the city\u2019s most popular venues.<\/p>\n

Arvest Bank Theatre at the Midland<\/h3>\n

1228 Main St, Kansas City, MO 64105<\/em><\/p>\n

One of the most historic venues in Kansas City, The Midland Theatre has been a cornerstone of the city\u2019s Power & Light District for nearly a century since it first opened in 1927. From the 1950s to the early \u201870s, the building was home to the National Collegiate Athletic Association\u2019s headquarters under the organization\u2019s very first director, Walter Byers. More recently, the 3,200-capacity theater has hosted concerts by Harry Connick Jr., Shinedown, Bob Dylan, Fleet Foxes and others.<\/p>\n

Uptown Theater<\/h3>\n

3700 Broadway Blvd, Kansas City, MO 64111<\/em><\/p>\n

Months after The Midland\u2019s unveiling, the Uptown Theater opened, somewhat ironically, just three miles south in Kansas City\u2019s Valentine neighborhood. Built in the Italian Renaissance style as an atmospheric theater, the Uptown made its mark as a unique fixture in the community, and while it originally showed movies and hosted the vaudeville circuit, it was restored and converted into a live music venue in the 1990s. Since then, a wide variety of artists including Ashley McBryde, Gracie Abrams, Ann Wilson, NLE Choppa and Yungblud have all played its historic stage.<\/p>\n
