Plan Your Visit to Music Hall Center for the Performing Arts

Location and Getting There

Use 350 Madison Street, Detroit, MI 48226 for Music Hall. The downtown address is near other theatre and sports destinations, so confirm the entrance and parking facility before arriving on a busy event night.

The Box Office maintains weekday hours from 10 am to 6 pm Monday through Friday. On show days, the Box Office opens two hours prior to performance time and remains open until intermission. Saturday and Sunday hours are available only on days when performances are scheduled.

Performance Spaces

The historic Main Stage Theater hosts touring and local stage productions. Aretha’s Jazz Café presents jazz, spoken word and live R&B in a separate room. The 3Fifty Terrace is a rooftop nightclub. The organization also describes a concert-hall expansion project; do not assume that a planned space is the room for an existing event.

The Main Hall provides 1,701 total seats for ticketed performances. The venue also features the Julius V. Combs Music Hall Archive Gallery, a free exhibit on the fifth floor celebrating ninety years of Detroit performing arts history. The gallery is open weekdays from 10 am to 6 pm and during show times, accessible via a vintage elevator.

Visitor Information

Call 313-887-8500 for venue assistance. Use the relevant room’s event information for the performance schedule, and distinguish a café table reservation from admission to a Main Stage production.
