Irvine Barclay Theatre Concerts 2025

Lovely venue with easy parking and unique presentations. I sit balcony and it feels intimate in the space. There's a lot of restaurants and shops across the street to enjoy pre-show. Overall great area, good event choices, and again it's a lovely venue with excellent sightlines and acoustic quality (I'm not a sound expert it just sounds good to me).

Parking is $10 cash. We went to watch Preservation Hall Jazz Band at 8pm. The doors to the main building didn’t open until 7pm and then the doors to the theatre, didn’t open until 7:30pm, so lots of waiting! I did not appreciate getting there early and waiting outside in the freezing cold!! So i recommend staying in your car if you get there early. The students who staff the place are really friendly and helpful. The theatre itself is nice and has lots of bathrooms! The performance by Preservation Hall was outstanding and they let the fans come on stage to take pics and videos with them after. What an unforgettable experience!!

What a great venue. We truly enjoyed our experience at the theatre. We are thankful to have had the opportunity to see the Preservation Hall Jazz Band from New Orleans. We look forward to other shows here in the future.

Though I live over an hour away, this venue is worth the drive. Not too large and good acoustics. Would garner five stars, if not for usual line for women's restroom.

Excellent evening with Kat Timpf, FOX News contributor on the late-night Gutfeld show. Comfortable seats, good balcony view, good sound & lighting, clean facility & restrooms.
