We got 2 tickets for Bonnie Raitt for a Saturday night performance. There was a choice of the main floor, balcony, or table. We chose a table and it did not disappoint. The line was long but moved very quickly through security. Restrooms located on the main floor were large with many urinals/toilets for men and the women's restroom (according to my wife) had almost no wait as they designed it with many stalls. The venue holds around 2,000 concert goers. The sound system is very good as it should be from a venue designed from the ground up. The seating at the tables were reserved with 4 chairs spaced around a small table. It was nice to be able to put our drinks on a table versus holding them. At the end of the last song of the evening, Bonnie Raitt graciously allowed pictures. We will be returning in the future! read more

As a music venue it's great with modern design and acoustics. However, as someone who lives in the neighborhood, the theater has created more noise, parking issues, and trash (e.g. empty alcohol bottles from their patrons left on our lawns, as well as cigarette butts, wristbands etc). They also seemed to have stopped some of the earlier efforts to encourage non-automobile transportation (like the SABA-sponsored bike parking). I've attended a show here early on when it opened and parked my bike, but have not seen any more bike parking efforts. I wish the theater would do more to **clean up after themselves** or their guests for the neighborhood (such as a courtesy pick of the associated trash in a one block vicinity after a show). The additional trash, noise, and parking issues are a DIRECT result of the venue (not here before it existed) and Channel 24 showing some effort or courtesy for the neighborhood would be welcome. There are other reviews here about the parking issue and Reddit posts about the lack of neighborliness. read more

Beautiful venue! I hadn't seen my favorite band in Sacramento since 2014 at Ace of Spades, so I was especially excited to catch them again, this time for one of their two sold out shows at Channel 24. This is a newer venue and it's absolutely stunning. The layout is mostly GA, with some reserved balcony and ADA seating, definitely something to keep in mind when buying tickets. There's also a standing balcony on the second floor that's first come, first served, which is a really nice touch. If you arrive early, it's worth grabbing a spot up there. The smoking patio is unique, though you can't bring drinks outside (understandable). That said, people were leaving their drinks on a table near the entrance. Weirdly trusting lol I arrived after the opener, so getting in was a breeze, no line at all. ID check was quick and efficient, and everything felt well organized. The bathrooms were clean, and with 3 bars, getting drinks isn't an issue. The merch line looked intimidating but it moved surprisingly fast. I took public transit but reading alot of gripes about parking. There's a reasonably priced lot right across the street, plus plenty of residential street parking nearby. The only downside to the location is that there isn't much in the immediate area for a pregame. Very few bars or restaurants within walking distance. The highlight of the night was definitely the visuals. The lighting techs did an incredible job. Honestly honestly, night and day compared to Ace of Spades. I felt like the instrumentals overpowered the vocals at times, so from a sound perspective, not the best. read more

Probably one of the best smaller venues in NorCal. The sound system is great, staff were super friendly, and the drinks were fairly reasonable. We went there to see The Amity Affliction and were amazed at just how close we were able to get and also there wasn't a bad view anywhere on site. Guests can also welcome themselves to the upstairs balcony areas that don't have assigned seating which literally give you a view of practically everything. It was a great time and I hope to attend more shows there, 5/5. read more

Been to two shows here so far. No complaints yet! Good air flow, not too hot, everything is pretty nice, modern, and clean. The sound quality is good. People keep referring it to a "mini bill graham" and I can see why. Might be the best indoor venue in Sac for EDM shows so far. For size reference, the capacity for this venue is 2,150 vs BG's is 8,500. read more

I get so nervous for events because of the uncertainty. I get nervous about parking, getting to my seat, and just getting through the process in general. My experience at Channel 24 was AMAZING. My sisters and I got tickets to see "On Cinema Live". I got parking when I purchased my ticket that was right across the street from the venue. I arrived early to get in line and there were staff asking about verifying I.D for those wishing to drink during the event to cut down on lines at the bar inside. Getting checked through security was a breeze. Everything inside was so clean and well managed. The folding seats we were seated in WERE SO COMFORTABLE!!! Every aspect was thought of and my sisters and I had such a blast! I will absolutely be returning!!! read more

I recently attended a concert, and was pretty impressed on how well the venue was put together! We missed the opener and by that time the line to get in was non-existent. Easy breezy getting in. Once inside we had a couple of options for GA on the floor and on the balcony. The way the balcony is setup is pretty cool. It's standing bar, so if you are able to snag a spot up there, you won't have anyone in front of your or behind you. It's three levels I think, so get there early if you can to grab a spot. Since we were late, we ended up on the floor and we had plenty of room to enjoy the concert. I thought the sound system was solid (not too loud) and the lighting was done very well. It's intimate and you are able to view the artists from any area. The merch table area was pretty small, but the line moved pretty quick. Overall, a really solid venue. I didn't know what to expect but left pleasantly surprised. Definitely wouldn't hesitate to catch a show here! read more

Was one of the lucky people to be there for the opening day of Studio 24, their add-on ticketed space with its own bar and bathroom space. Staff were friendly and helpful, the drinks were good - the pineapple Negroni was pretty tasty and enjoyable. Opening day meant there were some logistical issues getting the place going, with different answers to basic questions given depending upon who you asked. The ticket also granted access to the balcony. The balcony space had a good video but the little rail to settle your drinks only worked well for things in small cups. I got a water and it felt like it was a risk to have it on the rail since if it fell it would hit someone on the head. All in all, decent night! read more

Got the chance to see a concert here (two feet) and really liked the venue. Super clean, orderly, and smooth process to get in. Some bars inside, upstairs, general floor and similar to ace of spades you can get a good "standing" seat to see the artist. If it's not a packed show lots of space to dance in the back. read more

I've had the opportunity to see several shows at Channel 24, and it's honestly been a seamless experience each time. From scanning IDs, scanning tickets, occasionally getting my phone locked into a pouch per the artists request, and getting my bag searched, I've never had longer than a 10 minute wait to get inside. I usually bring a refillable bottle, and they have two fountain stations on the first floor by each door. Bathrooms are also kept clean throughout the shows, and the merch line is tucked against the wall so the crowds can stay moving. As a shorty, I really like the upper levels. It's largely standing room unless you upgraded for a seat, but on any of the three upper levels, there are plenty of unobstructed views and room to dance. Security in the front row sometimes passes out water to those at the rail, but not at all shows. The shows I attended all started on time, though the start time may change from the time you buy your ticket to actual show day. The sound system has also been consistently good - especially with bass heavy shows I've attended. And the lasers are 100/10 (but will depend on your artist). I like that there bars inside (lower level) and outside the main room (upper level), and there's even an outside patio if you need fresh air. I hate that canned drinks are like $20 after tax and tip. And public transit is not really an option, like the venue pushes for, because shows typically end an hour after the last train. Parking through the venue's partners is atrocious ($30? For a 4 hour show? In Sac?), and the neighborhood becomes a madhouse at midnight when everyone is let out searching for their rideshare. The neighborhood surrounding the venue is definitely impacted by this, newly installed 1-hr parking signs be damned. I'm grateful for Channel 24 joining the entertainment scene, and look forward to more artists making their way to our city! read more

My wife and I saw Bonnie Raitt on 5/5/26 at Channel 24. It is no doubt the best music venue that I've been in. It's a small venue, only 2150 seats. ( Bonnie remarked that they seldom play in such a small venue, but they had a few days to fill before a music festival ) The sound quality was superb, the staff was great. We'll be back! read more

Amazing venue. It's located in the heart of that Midtown-East Sac border. The parking situation is mainly street parking but there is a parking lot nearby. I believe that most of the street parking is like 1 or 2 hour max so read the signs! The staff here is very friendly and helpful. Being a new venue, it is very well built. It feels modern but also has a sort of charm that is needed for a divey venue. There are no bad viewing angles here! The "pit" is all standing room only in the bottom. The top area does have seats and also a standing area. The quality of talent that is stopping by here is so good. The acoustics are great and the lighting looks so cool. The bars are streamlined and modern. I am so happy that Another Planet Entertainment (APE) has a venue in Sac. Means less trips to the bay finally Bottom line/TLDR: great music venue in a good location! read more

We visited Channel 24 for the first time on Friday to see Durand Jones and The Indications! It was a sold out show, but some how it didn't feel super crowded. The security line moved super fast, so did the bar and merchandise lines! This show was General Admission with a small VIP section and being as I am short, I did have a hard time seeing the stage at times, but the sound and lighting setup were so good! Their audio was some of the best I've heard inside a venue! I don't believe that they serve food - I didn't see anyone eating, but their drink prices weren't terrible either. I was just impressed with the vibe of Channel 24 and it felt like they genuinely wanted to show people a good time rather than charge people and arm and a leg for everything! Highly suggest taking Uber or park further away if you don't mind walking! I will be back in December to see Josh Johnson! Check them out! read more

Cool venue. There is a parking lot next door which is super helpful for $30, or you can find street parking. The Ch24 workers are all very pleasant and welcoming. The merch line and the bar line might look intimidating but no worries, they move fast. The place is really well managed. I only bought a water and the price wasn't terrible. $6 for can of water. Once inside the hall, there are standing balconies, I believe 3 of them and then the floor. We were on the floor close to the stage. By the time we got inside the balcony spots were all taken. Get there early if you want to be on the balcony. The sound system was great. The lights were fine. I wasn't a huge fan of the lighting at our show but I imagine it was the bands design choice. Overall it's a pretty cool venue. I look forward to being back. read more

Real nice venue! You can tell it's new. The staff here are all so nice, they got some AC going through, and I appreciate the benches located on the sides of the first floor. Bathrooms were clean, but the lines got long and there was little to no room to stand in line. The volume of the music felt inconsistent; as in it was loud at times but then it got quieter. Overall, pretty nice venue for events! It's like a small bill graham read more

I don't frequent a lot of concerts/music venues but had a great time seeing Jesse McCartney at Channel 24. My sister and I arrived close to show time and there was hardly a line to get in despite it being a sold out show. Ticket scan and security was super quick! There's restrooms upstairs and downstairs. My friend was able to snag limited balcony seats for us and it was worth the upgrade to not have to stand for 3 hours. The view was great from the balcony! Music was loud and I wish I thought to buy earplugs. Highly recommend either parking further away, carpooling, rideshare, or light rail as their website suggests. The main street was most crowded after the show ended, but the next block over wasn't busy at all. read more

Venue - very spacious and I loved the upstairs area. Some seating available but wasn't sure if it was first come first serve and lot of standing areas, esp if you're short! Clean and friendly workers. A couple bars inside by the stage and a bar upstairs. Parking - hard to find as a lot of the street parking are time limited, 24/7. I used Park Whiz to find a spot for a concert but even then- it was a bad parking lot so save your time and don't park at the parking lot at R street as the spots are super tiny and some will have blocked access. Besides the parking- it's a solid venue! read more

We saw Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit last night. First time checking out this new venue and I have to say WOW Sacramento, great job. (I am sure those living nearby aren't pleased with the impacts on parking and hope the city is stepping up enforcement for them, I used to live in midtown and it's a real issue). That being said, the experience was pretty spectacular. Sound system is great, not overcrowded, in and out quickly, I didn't get a drink but the lines didn't seem too bad. If you're planning on stopping in at the Round Corner for their fantastic tacos ahead of time, allow yourself a good 90 minutes- it's pretty packed ahead of the show. PS. If you're the person filming on your phone after the artist you've paid to see asked you not to- you're an asshole. Just don't. read more

We finally saw a band at the new local venue! We went to see We Came As Romans, and it didn't disappoint. The seating was nice, personally I wish there was more seating than the ~200 seats on the upper level, but the balcony leaning section would probably be ok too. If you're interested in someone coming through you might just want to buy tickets as early as possible if you want to sit down, as those will likely be sold out quicker than most. Overall the venue was cool, short time to get in, the sound was really good, and the facilities were nice and clean. I would say the biggest downside are the expensive drinks but I don't think anywhere has cheap drinks at concerts unfortunately. Also this specific show had two separate merch booths, one upstairs and one downstairs, but not sure if every performer will be able to do that. read more

Worst experience I've had at a venue. They clearly oversold tickets and left many guests with nowhere to stand or enjoy the show. To make it worse, Ticketmaster has you choose a specific standing section and charges different prices, but once you're there, you're told to stand wherever you can fit because the areas are already full. When we asked for help, the manager said, "I don't have a beautiful answer for you. Just try to fit in somewhere." Then staff suggested security could remove us instead of addressing the issue. Poor customer service and poor crowd management. Never again. read more

I came here to see Morgan jay with my cousins. I thought the seating was gonna be different it was just folding chairs . The place was packed . There wasn't any parking and although I paid pre paid they still had me park four blocks down the railroad tracks. It was freezing and also you have to get there early for your shower because they don't let you in early . You have to wait in a line outside . I bought 3 margaritas and it came out to $60 dollars and barely had alcohol in it . I'm not one to complain about that cause I'm a bartender and I get it but it was horrible. read more

Channel 24 allows smoking indoors?? That was my main concern about this venue. Not only was it incredibly hard to see the performers (shout out to Empire of the Sun) in this brand new music venue, the amount of guests smoking vapes (both nicotine and cannabis) was unbearable/overwhelming. Can this be prevented at all? Shame on the visitors for smoking in a brand new venue. My friend who has lung problems left wheezing from how much smoke was in the air. As I mentioned earlier, there is zero slant in this venue. You can barely see the performers because the stage isn't elevated much and the floor is flat. Wish they had modeled this venue like the indoor venue in Wheatland at the Hard Rock. Besides those two glaring issues, the venue is overall nice and new (not for long with all the smoking allowed). The visuals were amazing for Empire of the Sun and the volume clear (bring earplugs because it felt extra loud). Drinks are expensive (as to be expected), about $30 for two hard seltzers, but plenty of bars to order from. Bathrooms were fine (people smoking in there as well). They haven't limited their bag policy to clear bags yet, but I expect it soon. Getting into the venue was fine, but getting a 21+ wrist band was disorganized (try and do this like Ace of Spades before we get into the venue?). Overall, lots of kinks and only time will tell if they get resolved. I hope they do because there are plenty of concerts I want to see there. read more

I have only been to Channel 24 once for a show, but it was a decent experience overall. I had read that parking was challenging so my husband and I parked a few blocks away and didn't even bother trying to find something in the vicinity. I think the premise of having the light rail station right there would help deter some of the need for parking but it all depends on who is attending the show. The venue itself is very clean and modern and I appreciated that there were multiple levels to the standing balcony. I'm reserving my full judgment of this venue until I have another opportunity to come back and see an artist I really want to perform here. I would love to see some more middle of the road artists come through because most of the lineup I saw was pretty obscure. read more

I've been wanting to check out Sacramento's new entertainment venue, Channel 24, since it opened and I finally got the chance when Ziggy Marley came to town on Thursday. The show was lit, and the venue itself is impressive. Everything is brand new, and the sound system was superb. I appreciated the fully stocked bar, and the bartenders were able to handle most requests. The bathrooms were clean and had enough stalls to keep the line moving quickly. The concert area was standing-room-only, though there was a roped-off section on the side with about 20 folding chairs. I wasn't sure if that area was reserved for VIPs or ADA seating. There was also an upper level that looked like it was standing-room-only as well. Channel 24 reminds me of Ace of Spades, but it's larger and more modern. What I enjoyed most was that no matter where I stood, I had a clear view and could hear the performers well. That said, I'm not the biggest fan of standing for the entire shows, especially during intermission. Most reggae concerts promote standing and dancing so I wonder if Channel 24 set out rows of chairs/ seats depending on the artist? read more

Recently attended a concert at this new venue and had an amazing time! My friend and I parked a little further away (maybe a 5 min walk) so that parking was only $5. There was parking right across the street for $35 which is insane to me. Just park a little further away and walk. Especially since it's so hard to get out of that small lot at the end of the night because everyone is leaving the venue and lots of pedestrians. The venue itself is nice and clean. Security and ticket scanning outside was so quick! Women's bathroom line was long but still went pretty fast. It's all standing, except for some seats at the balcony which is saved for ADA. We went inside about 40 mins before opener started and we were able to get a good spot. Music was loud and clear! I hope they maintain this venue because it's so much better than Ace of Spades. read more

Channel 24 is Sacramento's newest concert venue! I had the opportunity to get an inside look at Channel 24 before they opened to the public during their open house. Inside is very spacious, and the maximum occupancy is 2,000. There's some balcony seating available, but most of it is standing room both at the GA floor and balcony levels. All standing room is first come, first serve and I'd recommend the corner spots on the top level balcony for the best views. Channel 24 has two full bars on both floors and a second, smaller bar on the first floor. They have a few signature options with venue prices, so I'd recommend getting a drink around the neighborhood. I have a feeling that Round Corner will be seeing a lot of foot traffic soon! Pro tip: Reserve parking ahead of time. Take the light rail to avoid it, and please be courtesy of the neighbors. read more

The line to have your bags and your tickets checked is an uncovered area that may be a concern if it's raining or cold once I got in there is a lot of stairs and there is an elevator available. The stating is very limited to the upstairs area. The vibe was great Ziggy Marley and burning Spears. Reggae concert was wonderful. I enjoyed my time.

I was here recently to see Josh Johnson. It was my first time at the venue. I didn't quite know what to expect. It's definitely a no frills warehouse-ish venue. They have a bar. There's no food you could get chips which was a bummer because we didn't have time to get dinner before our show. The floor seating was comfortable. I did feel a little squished next to the stranger to my left, but it wasn't a big deal. The price was right for the ticket so I don't think I would have wanted to pay more in such a confined space. It's always good to have more event spaces in the 916 and I know they bring in a variety of talent. The crew working the door and the lobby were friendly and quick getting us in on a rainy evening. read more

Great location for venues, but the parking! 30 dollars for an hour!!?? Ridiculous, and the chairs we sat on, in VIP section, fold up, uncomfortable chairs, my back was killing me at the end. Come on now, with all the money you all make with the venues and parking, spend more on comfort, cushioning! Please. I gave 3 stars because of this. Either way the show was 5's all the way! Clean location, spacious, everyone was polite, but having to wait an extra hour to meet Justin was also draining! Figure something different out next time, we had to wait about 30 min before we were called upstairs and waited in line for another hour! The show however was phenomenal! Justin Willman is extremely entertaining, fun, personable, magical!! A must to see him live! Had a blast, lots of laughter, contagious throughout the auditorium! read more

About time Sacramento got a mid-sized concert venue. Despite the well-documented parking issues and lack of options to eat and drink before or after the show in the area, Channel 24 lived to the expectations and is very welcome addition to Midtown area. Everyone who's been to Fox in Oakland will not have a problem recognizing the similarites. That is because both Fox and Channel 24 are ran by the same promoter and share a lot of the same design features. The acoustics and sound quality is very good and the view from the floor, even the back of the room, is intimate. I'd say about 80% of the approx 2,000 capacity is on the floor, with reserved (ticketed) seating on the center balcony upstairs, and some limited GA balcony on the sides. We saw Jack White on his second night, and the concert itself was all I could hope for. Unfortunately, the balcony GA spots were all already taken before the opening act even started, so the floor was it for the night. I couldn't help but notice that it would be nice if the stage was a little higher, but it will probably not bother taller people. However, that's not me. The event staff I interacted with were all curteous and the lines were moving fast with no issues getting in. The drinks are pricy and the beer selection is fair at best, same as at Fox. If there is an area that needs improvement, that would be it. If paying $15 for a beer, I'd expect something beter and/or more local than Lagunitas or Sierra Nevada. We had a great time with Jack White and can't wait to see another show at Channel 24. Looking at the acts that are already booked, there won't be any issues getting to the 2,000 capacity on nightly basis. It's safe to say that Channel 24 and Sacramento are a perfect match. read more

Perfect venue spot. Small, intimate, no long lines, bathrooms placed close to the stage. Great experience!

Caught the Morgan Jay show here. Never had attended this venue before, but did research and was dreading parking. It actually wasn't a headache at all, as long as you show up a little early. The check-in process was painless. The ushers did a good hub getting attendees to their seats. The bartenders were efficient and friendly. The chairs are folding and not all that comfortable. read more

Came here for a comedy show on Friday night. The venue is huge and spacious! I arrived right on time so I didn't have time to walk around much other than to use the restroom and grab a drink at the bar. Restroom was clean and well maintained. There were 2 bars but the one downstairs near the entrance was packed, so I went upstairs and was helped right away. They allow 2 drinks per person which was nice so I didn't have to leave my area once I was seated. I got really good seats and didn't realize if you get a table seat, the servers come down to take your order, so something to think about if you come here for a visit. Service was great, servers are really nice! I'm so glad a got a table seat cause I didn't have to keep getting up to let people get up to go to the restrooms/bar. Great show and would definitely come back again. Only thing I will mention is parking was kind of hard to find. There is a parking lot that was charging $30 nearby but I drove around a few times and got lucky with a spot a block away on the same street so just keep that in mind if you come on a Friday/Saturday. read more
