The Intersection is West Michigan's live music legend, a multi-stage concert venue in the heart of downtown Grand Rapids at the corner of Cherry Street and Cesar E. Chavez Avenue. Originally opened in 1972 at 1520 Wealthy Street SE in Eastown, the venue outgrew that location and moved to its current downtown home in 2004. In 2018, the venue expanded its lower level to add two additional performance spaces, bringing its total to five stages. The five stages are: the Showroom (1,500 capacity), Elevation (800), The Stache (400), The Mint (200), and the outdoor Rock the Lot stage (2,200). Combined, these spaces enable the venue to host everything from intimate 200-person shows to large-scale outdoor events. The Intersection presents more than 300 shows annually across every genre, from rock and hip-hop to country, electronic, and comedy. In 2016, Pollstar Magazine named The Intersection among the Top 25 venues for ticket sales in the world, ranking it number 22 with 114,656 tickets sold. Artists who played The Intersection early in their careers and now sell out arenas include Luke Bryan, Chappell Roan, and Panic! at the Disco.
