Palm Springs Music & Entertainment
Palm Springs is more than sunshine and style — it’s a desert stage where music and entertainment come alive every night of the week. From sultry jazz clubs and retro piano bars to open-air amphitheaters and high-energy dance floors, the city offers a soundtrack for every mood.
Start your evening with classic cocktails and live jazz at Melvyn’s Lounge, a legendary spot where stars once gathered. Enjoy dinner and a show at the iconic Purple Room Supper Club, where the Rat Pack spirit lives on. Catch a Broadway-style production at the Palm Canyon Theatre or see national touring acts at the Plaza Theatre.
For a taste of Palm Springs nightlife, dance under the stars at Cascade Lounge, laugh the night away at Oscar’s Downtown Palm Springs comedy nights, or enjoy a live drag show at Toucans Tiki Lounge, a popular LGBTQ+ hotspot. Music lovers can also enjoy seasonal events like the Palm Springs International Jazz Festival and concerts at the Palm Springs Art Museum’s Annenberg Theater.
