The Best Live Music Venues in Guadalajara

Teatro Degollado

This is, without a doubt, the most beautiful venue in Guadalajara, and has the best acoustics, thanks to its architectural design. The most important artistic venue in the state of Jalisco, this theater was built in 1855. It is the house of the Jalisco Philharmonic Orchestra, the International Mariachi and Charreria Encounter, and the Ballet of the University of Guadalajara. There’s always something on, whether it’s a concert, an opera, classical ballet, a recital, or a play by a national or international writer.

Teatro Diana

Originally this theater was the famous Cinema Diana, which was part of an urban project that included a business center, the Guadalajara Condominium, and a hotel, in one of the most traditional neighborhoods of the city. The cinema closed in 1995 and six years later it was taken over by the University of Guadalajara. Since then, artists such as Luciano Pavarotti, Baaba Mal, Kronos Quartet, Apocalyptica, Bobby McFerrin, Goran Bregovic, Lila Downs, Franz Ferdinand, Dream Theater, and Yann Tiersen have played here.
