OUTDOORS, SEATING IS SOCIALLY DISTANCED! WEAR YOUR MASKS!
We appreciate you purchasing a ticket and wanting to come and support live music. Moreover, we appreciate your patience as we navigate these weird times. Due to the very limited capacity, we are suggesting a food and beverage minimum of (2) drinks or a plate of food purchased by each guest. This is not required; however, this what allows icehouse to stay afloat and continue to host shows. While we appreciate the purchase of the base cover charge, that money simply covers the cost to put the show on and pay the artists. We still need to cover the cost of our great staff and keep our lights on. We hope the community will continue to value what Icehouse uniquely provides, and show us some love so we can make it to the other side of this together!c Please click the link below to pre-purchase a food and beverage credit to be used the night of show and during any subsequent visit. If you are not able to purchase this in advance, we still look forward to seeing you at the show and hope you consider this when attending show. Thank you for your consideration.

Acknowledging that the way we came to this country and the way our families were separated is the reason why we are separated now. Acknowledging the pain of this reality. Acknowledging the beauty of this reality. Acknowledging Black Love in its many forms and expressing this love thru my art.” –Queen Drea
