About Us

The corner of Wilshire and Western has been a landmark since The Wiltern first opened its doors in 1931. The building's turquoise terra cotta facade and the soaring Art Deco interior, with its sunburst ceiling and tiered balconies, make it one of the most visually arresting rooms in the country. A 4.5-star rating across nearly 4,500 reviews is not an accident. People come for the music and leave talking about the room.

The general admission floor puts you close enough to read the setlist on the stage monitor, while the seated balcony levels offer sightlines that most 3,000-capacity venues simply cannot match. Sound travels cleanly here, the result of decades of acoustic refinement inside walls that have hosted everyone from emerging indie acts to sold-out legacy tours.

Located at 3790 Wilshire Blvd in Koreatown, The Wiltern is a short walk from multiple parking structures and easy to reach by Metro. Doors open on time, lines move efficiently, and the staff knows how to run a room. That combination is rarer than it should be in Los Angeles, and it is a big part of why this venue keeps selling out.

What We Offer

The Wiltern hosts a full calendar of live concerts spanning rock, hip-hop, electronic, pop, comedy, and everything in between. The main floor converts between general admission standing and reserved seating configurations depending on the show, giving promoters and fans genuine flexibility. The Art Deco auditorium seats roughly 1,850 in its theater configuration and expands for standing events.

Beyond concerts, the venue is available for private events, corporate functions, wedding receptions, and branded experiences that demand a space with genuine architectural character. Multiple bars are positioned throughout the venue to keep wait times short. The box office handles ticketing directly, and the website at wiltern.com carries the full upcoming schedule with links to purchase.

Parking is available in an attached structure just steps from the entrance, making arrival and departure smoother than nearly any comparable venue on Wilshire Blvd. Whether you are booking a table in the balcony or standing front row on the floor, the production quality, the sightlines, and that iconic ceiling will make the night memorable on its own terms.

Why Choose Us

Built in 1931, the Art Deco interior is a registered Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument that no modern venue can replicate.
Nearly 4,500 reviewers give The Wiltern 4.5 stars, consistently praising sightlines, sound quality, and staff efficiency.
General admission floor positions fans close enough to see the artist clearly without binoculars or a jumbo screen.
Attached parking structure is a one-minute walk, eliminating the street-parking scramble common to Wilshire corridor venues.
Flexible configurations from 1,000-seat theater to full standing capacity make it the right fit for concerts, comedy, and private events.
Metro accessible location at Wilshire and Western means fans arriving by rail walk directly to the front door.

"First time ever going to this concert venue and I really enjoyed it. We got parking nearby & it wasn’t difficult to walk to the venue at all. Line went by pretty fast as well. It’s very stunning inside, gives vintage theatre vibes. I also liked that they had a marquee sign to take photos with. Seat pathways are a bit narrow but nothing too bad. I came here for LA night 1 to see Hayley Williams with my fiancé. Such a good show, I love my girl!! I’d definitely come see another show at this venue again."

"Seeing That Was Us Live at The Wiltern was an incredible experience from start to finish. The venue itself is stunning with classic Art Deco architecture, beautiful lighting, and great sightlines that make it feel both intimate and grand at the same time. The event was well run, the energy in the room was fantastic, and the audience engagement made it feel special and communal rather than just another live show. Sound quality was strong, staff was helpful, and the overall vibe of the night matched the emotional depth and warmth people love about the show. From the iconic marquee outside to the atmosphere inside the theater, this was one of those nights that really sticks with you. If you get the chance to attend a live event here, especially something like this, it is absolutely worth it."

"Great concert venue. I was in GA, which meant pretty close, but standing only. Nice to be able to see your favorite artist's face without binoculars! Parking was quick, easy, safe, and a 1-minute walk to the theater. The architecture and interior is super cool, though you're not looking at that once the music starts. There's a decent, overpriced bar, if you need a drink. Dress cool--it can be a bit warm. Today was my third visit here, and if a great band shows up again, I'll go again."

"The Wiltern is awesome. All the shows I've seen here have been a blast. It's a big enough venue to attract big names, but not so big that it's faceless and boring. The security lines are quick, the bar moves fast and is well staffed. The actual stage is large, surrounded by ornate carvings and decoration. The sound is great. Also - it's on the corner of WILshire and wesTERN streets. Literally just realized that, and it kinda blew my mind."

"Old school proper theater vibes with a nice updated decor. Venue - older type of seating but it's a nice vibe - intimate venue so pretty much every seat is pretty good Food -there is room for growth here. The selection was just okay 2.5/5. Nachos were simply chips and cheese. Other items just seemed standard. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO EAT SOMEWHERE ELSE. Drinks -They do serve drinks and alcoholic beverages (see picture of the menu) Service -All of the staff were friendly! Overall a nice cozy theater! Recommended"
