Goodyear Theater Tickets

Goodyear Theater – Akron, Ohio Tickets
 

Discover the Iconic Goodyear Theater 

Tucked into Akron’s revitalized East End, the Goodyear Theater stands as a shining example of how history and entertainment can blend beautifully. Originally built in 1920 as part of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company’s campus, the theater once served as an employee auditorium. Today, after a stunning renovation, it’s one of Northeast Ohio’s most stylish and intimate performance venues. 

Restored with great care in 2016, the Goodyear Theater maintains much of its historic charm—including its original Art Deco touches—while embracing modern upgrades in sound, lighting, and guest comfort. The venue hosts a wide range of live entertainment: from classic rock concerts and comedy shows to family-friendly performances and cultural events. Its balance of elegance and functionality makes it a favorite stop for both performers and fans. 

Whether you're catching a national touring act or enjoying a tribute band, the Goodyear Theater offers a rich, immersive entertainment experience in the heart of Akron. With its prime location and superior acoustics, it’s no wonder seats often sell out fast.
