Anselmo Valencia Tori Amphitheater – Tucson, Arizona Tickets 

Discover the Iconic Anselmo Valencia Tori Amphitheater
 

Located on the southern end of Tucson, Arizona, the Anselmo Valencia Tori Amphitheater—commonly known as AVA Amphitheater—is one of the premier open-air venues in the Southwest. Opened in 2001 and operated by Casino del Sol, this award-winning venue delivers a blend of first-class entertainment, state-of-the-art sound and lighting, and breathtaking desert surroundings that make every performance feel unforgettable. 

Named in honor of the late Anselmo Valencia Tori, a respected Pascua Yaqui tribal leader and advocate for education and community development, the amphitheater stands as both a cultural landmark and an entertainment powerhouse. Since its inception, the AVA Amphitheater has hosted a wide variety of world-class talent, including big names like Janet Jackson, Ringo Starr, Tim McGraw, Pitbull, and Santana. It also serves as a stage for Latin concerts, rock legends, comedy shows, and even MMA events. 

As part of the Casino del Sol resort campus, AVA Amphitheater is more than a concert venue—it’s a destination. Whether you're catching a show under the stars or enjoying the nearby casino, golf course, and restaurants, AVA offers a total entertainment experience in the heart of the Sonoran Desert.
