LEAWOOD, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Soon, attending a live concert won’t require a plane ticket, an arena seat, or a distant view of the stage. Arena One, a new live entertainment company, and AMC Theatres (NYSE: AMC), the largest theatrical exhibitor in the United States and in the world, today announced the launch of Arena One at AMC, a new live concert format that brings fans together nationwide for a single, interactive, real-time concert event.
Debuting in June 2026, this groundbreaking concert concept is set to feature performances from Bebe Rexha - June 17, Paris Hilton - June 18, Kim Petras - June 19, and Maren Morris - June 20, all experienced live in more than 300 AMC locations nationwide.
Arena One at AMC concerts expand access for fans while giving artists a powerful new way to reach audiences without the limitations of traditional touring.
“The next chapter of live shows isn’t about proximity to big venues, it’s about creating visceral, intimate, affordable live connection between artists and fans no matter where they are,” said Rohit Kapoor, Founder and Chief Creative Officer of Arena One. “Arena One gives artists a new cinema-native canvas to create live performances, while amplifying the raw energy and shared fandom that makes live shows unforgettable.”
Fans at AMC locations around the U.S. are part of the live event, with crowd buzz, sound, and reactions flowing back and forth between the fans and performers in real time through innovative interactive technology. Inside each auditorium, the atmosphere is designed to feel immediate and electric, featuring powerful sound, massive screens, and a room full of energy that comes from audiences across the country connecting and sharing the moment together.
The first wave of performances will begin this June, with additional artists and dates to be announced in the coming weeks. Ticket prices vary by market, and showtimes are available on AMCTheatres.com and the AMC Mobile App, and at arenaonelive.com/shows.
“We consider this to be a major announcement, as once again AMC Entertainment takes an innovative step forward. Arena One at AMC has the potential to open an entirely new chapter in live entertainment. We are launching it on day one at more than 300 of our U.S. theatres, in some 89 markets from sea to shining sea," said Adam Aron, Chairman and CEO of AMC Entertainment. “Thanks to Arena One at AMC, music fans across the country will be able to come together for the same live concert, at the same time, all with the accessible premium experience of huge screens, powerful sound, and comfortable seats that AMC guests know and expect.”
“We built a cinematic stage optimized to translate seamlessly to cinemas, but artists are defining what it becomes,” said Peter Hamilton, CEO of Arena One. “They’re not adapting tours; they’re building something new. That’s when a medium sparks reinvention.”
Additional Arena One at AMC concert events and artists will be announced in the coming weeks.
Arena One welcomes audiences into the world's arena - bridging the distance between performers and fans, it’s a new way to experience live entertainment. The innovative platform transforms select cinemas into one interactive, real-time concert venue, where audiences of 150,000+ gather in AMC’s across 200+ locations to experience shows together. Imagined by creatives for creatives, Arena One is built around simple beliefs: music should be loud, ticket prices should be fair, and the energy between artists and fans is pure magic.
