The Broadside is the Broad Theater's outdoor music and event venue in Mid-City — a 40,000-square-foot former junkyard and body shop at 600 North Broad Street. The project began in May 2020, when the Broad Theater needed a way to bring people together during the COVID-19 pandemic: it converted the lot behind the theater into an outdoor movie venue, and the space quickly grew into a full live-music stage.
The Broadside's calendar spans national touring acts, essential local bands, and everything in between, with a particular strength in indie rock, punk, and experimental music — alongside community programming such as markets and film screenings. For details and the current calendar, see the venue's official site.
