The Fox Tucson Theatre is more than a historic theater — it's a lovingly restored landmark that blends Southwestern Art Deco glamour with modern production. Set in the heart of downtown Tucson, it’s a favorite stage for concerts, comedy, film, and community gatherings — and a stunning backdrop for Fox Tucson Theatre upcoming events of every kind.

Opened on April 11, 1930, the venue seats 1,164 guests in an atmospheric auditorium defined by a starlit ceiling, ornate interior details, and hand-painted murals. Its beautifully restored marquee lights up Congress Street, while integrated state-of-the-art sound and lighting ensure performances shine without compromising the theater’s vintage character.

From national touring artists to local arts organizations, the Fox Tucson Theatre presents a vibrant slate of concerts, live performances, film screenings, comedy shows, and community events. Notable performers have included Lyle Lovett, Emmylou Harris, Chris Isaak, Kathleen Madigan, Hotel California (Eagles tribute), Keb’ Mo’, Pink Martini, and The Mavericks — a testament to the theater’s enduring draw.

Closed in 1974 and shuttered for over 25 years, the Fox underwent a major restoration and triumphantly reopened in 2005. Today, guests enjoy the best of both worlds — historic ambiance and a comfortable, modern show experience anchored by professional production, excellent sightlines, and a welcoming downtown setting.

Whether you’re here for a must-see tour stop or a special film night, the Fox Tucson Theatre offers an intimate, memorable night out in one of Arizona’s most beloved arts venues.

Arrival Recommendations

Although the Fox is an indoor venue, Tucson’s summer heat or monsoon storms can affect your walk from nearby parking or transit. Dress for the weather outside, bring water as needed before you enter, and give yourself a few extra minutes if conditions are hot or rainy.
