The Marquee Theatre in Tempe, Arizona, is a popular live performance venue that hosts over 150 musical acts each year, featuring some of the biggest names in the music industry. Despite its somewhat dingy appearance, the venue is an actual rock-style club and one of the last places in the area that still embraces the Rock' n' Roll lifestyle. The venue consistently hosts great acts at affordable prices, including renowned artists such as NIN, City & Colour, Muse, Kings of Leon, Interpol, The Black Keys, Sigur Rós, Jimmy Eat World, Modest Mouse, Social Distortion, Tiger Army, and Deftones. The Marquee Theatre is also one of the few places left where people can still mosh and crowd surf, making it a haven for concert enthusiasts with diverse music tastes.
