The Agora's 40th anniversary New Year’s Eve Party
 

 

The Agora kicks off it’s 40th anniversary year-long celebration on New Year’s Eve.

The Agora, Cleveland’s most storied rock ‘n’ roll venue, will kick off its 40th anniversary on New Year’s Eve with a special reunion concert by Artful Dodger!

This Virginia-based power pop quintet made four highly praised albums in the 1970’s, and were one of a number of bands who enjoyed enormous popularity in Cleveland due in part to their many gigs at the Agora. When the band played it’s last reunion shows in 1991, they sold out two shows at the Agora Theatre with more than 3,500 tickets sold.

Artful Dodger plays the Agora Theatre on Saturday, December 31. Doors open at 7pm show starts at 8:30pm. Special guests will be announced soon. Tickets go on sale Saturday, November 12, 2005 at 10 AM. All tables and seats will be reserved and capacity is limited, tickets will go fast. Tickets will be available at the Agora box office 216.881.2221 (open Mon-Fri 10am to 5:30 pm) and at all Ticketmaster locations.

Originally opened in 1966 as a college club just off the campus of Case Western Reserve University, The Agora moved to its second location on East 24th in 1967. There, the club developed a reputation for playing both the top local talent (such as the James Gang, the Raspberries and Glass Harp), and up-and-coming touring acts such as Bruce Springsteen, The Police, Peter Frampton, Bob Seger, Boston, the Cars, Pat Benatar, U2 and REM (to name a few). Following a fire in 1984, the Agora moved to it’s current location at 5000 Euclid Avenue, where it has continued to feature top talent such as Alice in Chains, Crosby Stills and Nash, Green Day, Liz Phair, Robert Cray, Insane Clown Posse, Mushroomhead and Megadeth.

Following the New Year’s Eve concert, the Agora will celebrate it’s anniversary throughout the year with monthly “flashback” concerts featuring top-name bands that have been associated with it’s history, while continuing to present it’s regular schedule of currently hot artists. The club will also feature special events, promotions, contests and displays all year long, including the opportunity to watch and listen to past Agora shows on audio visual stations. Look for announcements of other events coming up shortly.
