About Holy Diver

Holy Diver in Sacramento is an intimate, all-ages music venue with a capacity just under 300, rooted in a storied past from the Starlite Lounge to a 2017–era Holy Diver project. Located at 1517 21st St in the Midtown area of Sacramento, this close-quarters setting is beloved for its heavy metal and rock bookings, delivering up-close performances in a space that’s easy to navigate for guests of all ages. Whether you’re a longtime local or a first-time attendee, we’ve got you covered with practical tips on parking, transit, and nearby lodging and dining options to pair with your show experience.
