Heritage Bank Center concert venue in Cincinnati, Ohio

Why it matters

Heritage Bank Center opened on Cincinnati’s riverfront in 1975 and has hosted nearly every kind of arena event since. Its concert history stretches from the Allman Brothers on opening night to Grateful Dead, Springsteen and generations of touring acts, making the building part of the city’s music history despite the many name changes.

Getting there

Heritage Bank Center sits on Cincinnati's riverfront beside The Banks. The streetcar can help from downtown and Over-the-Rhine, while drivers have several riverfront garages. Pick a garage that lines up with your route home rather than forcing an exit directly under the arena.

Bag policy

Entry screening at Heritage Bank Center follows the rule posted for the event configuration. Review the official venue policy on show day, especially if you need a medical, parenting or accessibility exception.

Local tips

The Banks and riverfront are directly outside, with downtown Cincinnati a short walk uphill. The streetcar can help with trips through downtown and Over-the-Rhine. For driving, pick a garage based on your route out rather than trying to get underneath the arena.
