The Crofoot Ballroom is a Pontiac concert venue with a strong reputation for local and national touring acts across rock, punk, metal, hip-hop, electronic, alternative, and indie. The venue complex includes multiple rooms, giving artists opportunities at several scales. For musicians, the Ballroom works best for acts with meaningful draw and a polished concert set, while smaller spaces can support developing artists and multi-band bills.
