Located in the heart of Chicago's vibrant Uptown neighborhood, the Riviera Theatre - IL is one of the Windy City’s most beloved live music venues. This historic gem has been captivating audiences for over a century with its classic charm and unbeatable acoustics.
Originally opened in 1917 as a movie theater, the Riviera Theatre - IL was designed by renowned architect C.W. Rapp of the legendary Rapp and Rapp firm. Its French Renaissance Revival design was intended to evoke the opulence of European opera houses—an atmosphere that continues to awe concertgoers today. While its early years saw film screenings and vaudeville performances, the Riviera eventually transitioned into a full-time music venue, hosting a wide range of acts from indie bands to global icons.
Today, the Riviera is a cornerstone of Chicago’s live music scene, offering a more intimate concert experience than larger stadiums while maintaining big-production energy. Whether you're seeing an up-and-coming artist or a seasoned legend, the Riviera Theatre - IL delivers an unforgettable show in a setting that's equal parts majestic and electric.
