Where to find live music in Pittsburgh
Choose a neighborhood or follow a venue’s official calendar for upcoming concerts, local bands, open stages, and other music events. These are editorial directory listings; inclusion does not imply a booking or sponsorship relationship with RadioPGH.

Mr. Smalls
Millvale · 400 Lincoln Avenue
Explore the Theatre, Funhouse, and other Mr. Smalls spaces through one calendar. The venue name matters: a ticket for one room does not mean entry to another. Look for local support acts alongside the touring headliner.

Plan your Pittsburgh music night
Start with the venue calendar, then open the event’s own listing. Confirm the full date, door time, show time, age policy, and whether advance tickets are required. A venue may host both music and non-music events, and a multi-room building may have separate shows on the same night.
Check the final ticket total, seating or standing arrangements, accessibility information, and bag rules before leaving. If you are combining a show with dinner or crossing the river, allow time for parking and the walk to the entrance. Contact the venue directly for accommodation requests or a cancellation update.
For more city ideas before or after a show, explore Pittsburgh Beautiful. Keep RadioPGH playing on the way and check our broadcast schedule for what is on the station.
