Uptown Theater Kansas City live music venue in Kansas City, Missouri

Why it matters

Uptown Theater Kansas City has a distinct place in Kansas City's live-music landscape. It is a historic theatre with strong regional touring relevance.

Getting there

The Uptown offers free parking in several lots/garages directly across from the theatre complex, with limited additional parking nearby.

Bag policy

Purses and bags must be 11" x 8.5" or smaller. Large bags and backpacks are prohibited and policies may tighten at an artist's request.

Local tips

The free parking is a real advantage, but it still fills around popular shows. The atmospheric 1920s theatre is worth getting inside early enough to see before the room goes dark.
