The Palladium in Worcester, Massachusetts, originally opened as a vaudeville house in 1927, known then as the Poli Palace. Throughout its history, it functioned as a movie theatre before undergoing renovations and re-establishing itself as a live music venue. The building retains many of its original architectural details, including ornate plasterwork and a classic theatre layout.

Currently operating under the name The Palladium, it’s a prominent mid-sized concert hall hosting national and international touring acts spanning rock, indie, electronic, hip-hop and alternative genres. The venue has a capacity of approximately 2,000 attendees and is recognized for its intimate atmosphere compared to larger arenas within the region. It’s owned by Live Nation New England.
