Rialto Theatre-Tucson (318 E. Congress St.)

The Rialto Theatre is Tucson’s core mid-capacity room, holding about 1,200 people for touring acts. Its calendar stretches from rock and hip-hop to comedy, drag, speakers, and occasional film screenings. The room’s size helps bring national and international artists who might otherwise bypass the city.

The Rialto uses a clear bag policy: clear plastic or vinyl bags up to 12in x 6in x 12in, one-gallon clear plastic freezer bags, or small clutches around 5in x 7in. Staff search all bags at entry. Ticket sales are final for scheduled shows. If a show is rescheduled, original tickets remain valid for the new date, and buyers who cannot attend can request a full refund. Cancelled events are refunded in full.

Upcoming Shows (September 20 – October 31, 2026)

From this club-scale room, the guide shifts to a restored downtown theatre that caters to legacy acts and tributes.

Fox Tucson Theatre (17 W. Congress St.)

The Fox Tucson Theatre is a non-profit historic venue at 17 W. Congress St., with a box office line at 520-547-3040. Lobby doors open one hour before showtime, and the theatre house usually opens about 30 minutes before the performance. Outside food and drinks are not allowed.

Recording rules are relatively flexible for a historic room. Professional photo, video, or audio gear is prohibited, but personal, non-commercial photos, video, and audio are allowed at most shows, without flash. The theatre can restrict recording entirely for specific performances. The fall 2026 calendar leans on legacy artists, tribute productions, and comedy, with many first-party tickets starting near $24 and topping around $70–$80, though some events sit higher.

Upcoming Shows (September 20 – October 31, 2026)

From the Fox, the guide moves a few blocks south to a convention-center hall that hosts orchestras and large-scale tours.

Linda Ronstadt Music Hall (260 South Church Avenue)

The Linda Ronstadt Music Hall sits inside the Tucson Convention Center at 260 South Church Avenue, Tucson, AZ 85701, near the northwest corner of the complex.

Large bags, briefcases, backpacks, luggage, and convertible backpack purses are prohibited, with any exceptions listed on the event page.

Outside food and drinks are not allowed, aside from medical exceptions. Smoking and professional cameras or recording equipment are also restricted. Camera rules can vary by event, but most performances do not allow audio or video recording or professional cameras. Tucson Symphony Orchestra Classic and Masterworks concerts here work best for children 5 and older, while separate family programs cater to younger kids.

Wheelchair-accessible seating with adjacent companion seats is available, and staff can provide assistive listening devices in the lobby. The assisted listening system does not support T-coil, so devices must be borrowed on-site.
