Are you looking for a unique and exciting venue for live music performances? Look no further than the Castle Theater, “Where Music is King.” Located in downtown Bloomington, the Castle opened in 1916 as a 1,000-seat theater, and remained one of the area’s most popular attractions until 1988. Today, it’s the most exciting live music venue between St Louis, Chicago and Indianapolis. Thanks to a $1.5 million renovation, the Castle has been beautifully restored to its former glory featuring rich architectural details, such as ornate friezes, gilded columns, and art deco-inspired chandeliers.
Removable seats on the venue’s main floor and fixed seating along the upper balcony provide ample space for 300 – 700 people to enjoy fantastic live performances. The Castle promotes local and national emerging and established touring artists in a variety of music types, including Rock, Alternative Rock , Americana, Alternative Country, Blues, Jazz and Contemporary Alternative.
