Van Duzer Theater

A great live music venue located on the campus of Humboldt State University (about 300 miles north of the San Francisco bay on the 101) Off Laurel Dr and Sequoia Ave, in the Music Arts Buildings area on campus. This intimate venue, at the top of the stairs and to the left, seats about 900 where some of the greatest musical talents in the world have played and graced this amazing stage and venue for decades now.
Beer and wine is usually available for purchase, as are light refreshments. A non-​smoking venue.
Our most recent concert brought us back to this awesome venue for a show with Ozomatli this past Tuesday evening — This show did not disappoint!
The Los Angeles based band has been together for almost two decades now, and it showed in their performance as they smoothly moved from urban latino — to hip hop, to cumbia, salsa and funk. This was an awe inspiring show, for both performers and the audience, as many have been, that I have seen at this venue in recent years.
Playing at the Van Duzer theater, artists, musicians and performers all seem to thrive in this special and magical venue. It truly does bring out the best in those who play this stage. The audiences are some of the best in the world, and if you go to a show at this venue, you will find and see that those who do attend are there because they love the music and the artist performing. This in turn translates to the musicians and performers and as such the shows here are always spectacular and amazing in their own right.
It does not get any better than this for live music. You can reach the Center Arts ticket office at 707−826−3928 to find out more about this venue and upcoming shows. The 2014 – 15 season looks to be a great one again, so if you ever find yourself on the north coast, 300 miles in the middle of nowhere and looking for world class music, this is it!
A Pure 5 STAR venue.
