Historically known for its voracious appetite for memorable hardcore, punk, metal, and rock shows, the Historic Nile Theater is streaming precious life-blood into the desert one show at a time. Now under the management of the Mantooth Group, the new Nile Theater is shamelessly taking the Arizona music scene by storm.The “World Famous” Nile Theater opened in 1924 as the Valley’s first and largest movie house. In 1951 the theater closed, but since then has housed a clothing store, nightclub, dinner theater, church, and a few other tenants. Today the Nile Theater is a thriving all ages venue with three rooms, catering to many music communities and events. The three rooms include The Underground, The Nile Theater, and Volstead Public House.
