Empire of the Sun, Death Cab for Cutie, Denzel Curry, Wallows, Lake Street Dive and Madness are all part of the inaugural concert lineup at Northern California’s hotly anticipated new live music venue Channel 24.
Tycho, Tucker Wetmore and Sierra Ferrell are also part of this initial batch of shows scheduled for this 2,150-capacity venue, which is located at 1800 24th Street in Sacramento and owned and operated by Berkeley-headquartered Another Planet Entertainment.
Channel 24 tickets go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Feb. 28, ticketmaster.com. There is also a presale that begins at 10 a.m. Feb. 27. Visit Channel24sac.com for more information.
“We have so many artists touring through Northern California that have to skip Sacramento because there is not an appropriately sized venue for them to play,” says Allen Scott, president of concerts and festivals for Another Planet Entertainment, which also books shows at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, Greek Theatre in Berkeley and multiple other venues as well as hosts the annual Outside Lands festival in Golden Gate Park. “Channel 24, right in the heart of the city, fills that need, and we hope that the venue quickly becomes an integral part of Sacramento’s vibrant live music scene.”
Having broke ground on the venue in spring 2024, Another Planet is currently set to open the building on April 24 with a performance from rising country music star Tucker Wetmore. The club will boost “impeccable sightlines throughout the space” and will feature “a main music room with general admission floor viewing and select reserved seats in its tiered balcony, multiple bars, and upstairs open-air patio,” according to a news release.
“We are excited to see an industry pioneer like Another Planet Entertainment invest in and expand Sacramento’s burgeoning music scene,” says Mike Testa, president & CEO of Visit Sacramento. “Our city is full of great history when it comes to local music and music venues, and the addition of Channel 24 to our market will bring a long list of new entertainment opportunities to our city and region.”
