Giving promoters just what they’re looking for: a convenient arena located near four major metropolitan areas, and consistent crowds – the Wicomico Youth and Civic Center has put itself squarely on the map of hot places to put on a show.

An easy two or three hour drive from Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and Norfolk, the Wicomico Youth and Civic Center has proven to be a haven for promoters looking to squeeze in an extra date while touring the Mid-Atlantic region. Salisbury is a magnet for the surrounding areas – it’s the largest “urbanized” area on the Delmarva Peninsula, and is the cultural hub for the region.

The Wicomico Youth and Civic Center’s proven ability to draw crowds – and satisfy its ticket-buying supporters – is based on one thing: getting great acts in the arena. The list of performers who have performed here is as impressive as it is diverse and includes: Bob Dylan, Styx and REO Speedwagon, Heart, Prince, Aaron Carter, O-Town, Alabama, George Strait, Alan Jackson, Patti La Belle, The Moody Blues, Kenny Chesney, Alison Krauss, ZZ Top, Trace Adkins, Carrie Underwood and more.

The Wicomico Youth and Civic Center is not just for concerts though. It has proven to be a successful venue for many touring shows and events, with an equally impressive list of names to show for it: “Disney on Ice,” “Grease,” “Sesame Live,” “The Harlem Globetrotters,” and “Lord of the Dance.”

The “promoter friendly” atmosphere at the Wicomico Youth and Civic Center is something the professionals on staff take great pride in. Reasonable rates for service, equipment and labor have helped make this a “profit friendly” arena as well. The facility also offers a full service marketing department to take care of all your advertising and promotional details.

Add it all up and you’ve got a versatile arena, 5600 seats strong, ready to handle any act, and more importantly, ready to put people in the seats.
