Venue and Seating Information
The Van Buren is a historic venue located in Downtown Phoenix, Arizona, with a capacity of 1,800. Originally a vintage auto dealership, it has been transformed into a premier concert hall designed for live entertainment. The venue primarily features a general admission standing floor for concerts, allowing fans to experience the energy up close. For those seeking a more comfortable viewing experience, mezzanine and balcony seating options are available.

Alex Warren Tempe reviews
Worst music event I’ve ever attended
$92 for event ticket, not bad given that I thought the line up was good or so.
My sister apologized because she said the venue last year was much better, especially.
We were so disgusted by the lackluster performances of the day, we left half way through H.E.R.’s set and didn’t even get to hear Alex Warren (the main reason for attending).
After waiting all day to hear H.E.R. perform, we got word there was a shooting and a subsequent stampede.
$300+ for airline tickets, no problem seeing that visiting my sister was the main reason for my trip.
I’m glad I brought an outdoor blanket to sit on because the grounds were wet.
There was only one stage that had seating.
This was my first and last Roots picnic.
There seemed to be no cohesiveness with where each act would perform.
I’ve attended several music festivals over the years and this one seemed to be the least put together one.
This is the first outdoor event I’ve attended where I couldn’t bring a chair.
There was a lot of walking up and down, back and forth between stages and the food trucks (which were ridiculously overpriced for the amount of food served).
