PV=Portland's Venues

Things happen differently in Portland

PV keeps Portland Weird, but also makes sure PDX doesn't miss out on the best shows. Small is good, but sometimes we have to work together to make great things happen and most importantly, room for everybody.

Portland Stays Independent

Your best local and beloved venues maintain control of YOUR music ecosystem, while making room for local jobs and economy created by larger shows that have historically skipped the market. In a unique partnership with Live Nation, local venues retain control, creating jobs and activity that boost Portland's economy and culture.

Time for Portland to Shine

Brought to you by Portland's Venues - your living room, your town hall. Where you go to dance, laugh, rock out and find common ground. Music and the performing arts comprise an industry and a way of life that has been a part of Portland since the start - think of La Luna, the Cotton Club, the Crystal Ballroom, Satyricon. It is an industry and a way of life. Let's bring Portland's Central East Side back to the great, thriving arts center it once was.

What is "PortlandsVenues"?

A 3500 - capacity dance hall

Because Portland has lacked a room of this size and class, many acts do not include Portland in their routing.

Built by and for LOCALS

Portland doesn't deserve a cookie-cutter "rock box" erected with only profit motives in mind, by a large corporation. Instead, local venues have teamed with a local developer to build something that will serve Portland for many years to come.

Keeping Portland's Music Ecosystem intact

The people behind visionary independent venues Doug Fir, Wonder Ballroom, Mississippi Studios, Revolution Hall, The Historic Roseland, the Crystal Ballroom, Aladdin Theater and others have all teamed up with promoters from Live Nation to make this unique space work in a way that builds upon Portland's musical legacy and strong independent scene.
