Sounds of KC

Whether you’re in a major pop star’s fan club or an ardent supporter of local artists, KC’s live music scene has something for you.

A new generation of KC-made artists are making waves. Radkey, a punk-rock trio of brothers, toured with Foo Fighters and are featured in Dave Grohl’s “What Makes Us” documentary.

Indie rock band, Hembree, has songs featured in two Netflix Originals, “13 Reasons Why” and “Outer Banks.” Meanwhile, The Greeting Committee recently collaborated with Briston Maroney and are forever on the road.

And there’s no shortage of settings for catching a live show. T-Mobile Center hosts your favorite big-name artists in the heart of downtown. Outside of Chiefs season, Arrowhead Stadium is fantastic for enjoying a concert with 75,000 of your closest friends. Experiencing a show at Azura Amphitheater, Bonner Springs’ open-air locale, is a summertime must-do.

Comprised of four stages (both indoor and outdoor), Knuckleheads is a local favorite. In addition to its headbanging music, this venue has a rich history; built in Electric Park in 1887, the building was originally a railroad boarding house. In the Crossroads Arts District, keep enjoying live music al fresco at Grinders, another beloved spot for epic outdoor gigs.

Celebrate KC’s jazz culture at The Blue Room in the 18th & Vine District or Green Lady Lounge, a dark cocktail bar with scarlet walls where you’ll find live music every night. Delight in dinner at The Phoenix or Corvino Supper Club & Tasting Room, where exquisite flavors and music meet.
