Newly added events include DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: The Twenty-Sided Tavern, Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue, Leftover Salmon, and more.
Scottsdale Arts has announced additional concerts and events for the 2025–26 season, celebrating the 50th anniversary of Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts. The expanded lineup ranges from interactive theatre and world-class jazz to global dance and immersive wellness experiences.
Highlights include the off-Broadway sensation DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: The Twenty-Sided Tavern, which brings five interactive performances to Scottsdale in January; Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue, whose high-energy live show will transform the East Bowl amphitheater into a New Orleans-style street parade; and jamgrass pioneers Leftover Salmon.
The season also features Films.Dance, directed and produced by Jacob Jonas The Company, alongside unique companion events such as a sunrise hike at Papago Park and a sunset meditation with Jonas.
Tickets for the newly announced events go on sale Thursday, September 18 at the newly revamped ScottsdaleArts.org.
