Roy Wilkins Auditorium

Venue review

The musician's read

Roy Wilkins Auditorium in downtown Saint Paul is a historic concert and event venue used for major public performances and touring music. Rock, pop, hip-hop, alternative, contemporary Christian, and other large touring genres fit naturally within the room. For musicians, the auditorium offers substantial indoor scale and a formal concert environment rather than a club setting. Artists should expect professional event production and a large audience focused on the stage. Roy Wilkins Auditorium is best suited to established regional and national touring acts with polished production and enough draw to support a major auditorium. It offers musicians a long-standing Saint Paul stage where concerts can feel like citywide events.
