About Badlands Pawn, Gold, & Jewelry - Concert Hall
Welcome to Badlands Pawn, Gold & Jewelry - Concert Hall, a historic downtown venue in Sioux Falls. Opened as part of the 2015 Badlands complex, this space offered a concert hall with an in-house box office and hosted major acts before the pawn operations transitioned in 2017. Today, the building at 1600 W Russell St serves as an event center under new ownership, continuing to support concerts, performances, and community events. Whether you’re attending a legacy show or a special event, we’ve got you covered with practical details to help you secure your seats and plan ahead.
Note: The page reflects current venue use as an event center with a repurposed space. Public seating maps for the original Concert Hall are not widely published, but an interactive seating chart is discussed by third-party sources.
