About Trocaderos

Welcome to Trocaderos, a historic Victorian-era theater in Philadelphia that's been repurposed as a vibrant live music venue. Located at 1003 Arch St in Center City, near Chinatown, this distinctive space features a general admission floor with balcony seating. Capacity runs around 1,200 standing, 550–600 seated, with balcony seating varying by show. While the venue has endured changes over the years, it remains a beloved stop for big-name acts and intimate performances alike. Note: Trocaderos has been closed since 2019 with renovation plans funded in 2022; as of 2026, a reopening date has not been confirmed. If you’re seeking reliable updates and tickets, we’ve got you covered and can help secure seats when events are announced.
