Stage West, a 600-capacity concert hall at 420 E. College Ave., will once again host live music at State College this summer.
After opening in February 2020, the concert hall closed due to the pandemic, according to Steve Masterson, owner of Stage West. It hasn’t worked since.
Stage West will host its first shows the last week of August, as students return to class, Masterson said.
The venue primarily features electronic dance music performances, although there are many different genres represented, including country, rock, and “everything in between,†Masterson said.
“Organize these shows, have hundreds of people present [and] having the best nights of their lives at these events makes me happy, â€said Masterson.
Masterson said he plans to have a program of four shows a week from Thursday to Sunday.
Masterson originally founded a Stage West location in Scranton three years ago before opening the State College location. He said launching a site at State College makes it easier for artists to visit Pennsylvania.
The Scranton branch held open-air outdoor concerts during the pandemic when no one else was, Masterson said.
The first show will be with Bonnie x Clyde on August 28, according to Masterson. Other artists Stage West will host include Colt Ford, Start Making Sense: Talking Heads Tribute, The Damn Torpedoes – A Tribute to Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and No Quarter: Homage to Zeppelin’s Legacy.

According to its Facebook and Instagram pages, Stage West is currently recruiting bartenders, hostesses and security personnel.
