master list: concert halls, opera houses, theaters, arts centers & other venues

following the master lists for Recording/Mixing/Mastering Studios and for Churches as recording location, I've created a list for Concert halls, opera houses, theaters, arts centers and other venues.

it is open to all styles of music and all kinds of venues including outdoor locations and locations with other purposes (like stadiums), excluding only studios, churches (see links below) and festivals (currently no master list for them).

Any suggestions for this list are welcome (please include town and country). I will try to update the list regularly.

(edit) the lists are now here:

Thanks for quoting my list ... I started it some weeks ago but there are still a lot of German venues which even haven't been added to the LCCN-fields.
Therefore I am happy for every hint about new German clubs + venues ...

... Maybe I should open a thread in the "German Forum" :-)

And here's my favorite venue:
Whisky A Go Go, Los Angeles, USA

City Hall, Glasgow

Volkstheater Millowitsch, Cologne,

Village Vanguard, New York, NY, USA

Sorting your list alphabetically would help tremendously :)
thx for the project.

^^ yes, please alphabetically

Rainbow Theatre London

TJ's, Newport, UK

And festivals (???):
The Reading Festival

Nakano Sun Plaza

yuhann
Sorting your list alphabetically would help tremendously :)

you mean by buildings/venus, not by countries first?

luetgewatz
And festivals (???):
Lollapalooza
The Reading Festival

it would be nice if someone would start his own list, I don't think I can maintain two lists at the same time, and a separate list for festivals would be way more practical.

Kater_Murr

And festivals? It would be nice if someone would start his own list ...

Good idea ... I will do that!

Opened a thread here:

And the list there:

By the way - an other legendary live venue: CBGB, New York, USA

CC Luchtbal Antwerp, Belgium

Paradise Rock Club, located in Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A.
Website: http://www.thedise.com/

Marquee Club (2), St. Pauli, Hamburg,

Mabuhay Gardens, San Francisco, United States

Factory, Magdeburg,

Hurrah, New York

By the way Kater_Murr, your list is still saying "sorted by country and building name"

Thanks for creating this list by the way, and all the effort that goes into maintaining it, it was long overdue.

WOW Hall, Eugene, Oregon, USA

Audimax, Hamburg,

I didn't see this thread until now, somehow missed it!

Thanks Kater_Murr for starting this, I have been waiting for it to happen!

If you'd like any advice on running these lists please PM me and I'll share what I've learned the hard way. (One thing I'd suggest is maybe split the list into letter sub-lists now (or at least smaller lists, A-C, D-F, etc.), while it's easy to do so. You'll find having a single list to alphabetize becomes increasingly unwieldy, and it's much harder to split up unto letters later when you have a bunch of entries to move 1 at a time, manually. Merely a suggestion, though.)
(Another suggestion: While your list is still small, consider opening a seperate just for the list. That way, someone you trust can be given the to take over if need be. I wish I'd done this. It's too late for me now!)
