Concerts & events in San Jose

Sport sets the rhythm in San Jose: hockey alone accounts for 80 of 380 current listings, led by the San Jose Sharks with 38 home dates. Three teams share the ice across two buildings, so there is a game most weeks.

By genre, the picture looks like this: comedy (92), hockey (80), theatre (29) lead the current count. The San Jose Improv keeps the other half of the city’s nights busy with a rolling stand-up bill — comedy actually tops the genre count. New dates are added as they go on sale, so the picture below shifts from week to week. For the most in-demand nights it pays to move early: the best seats tend to go as soon as sales open.

A few names do a lot of the booking: the San Jose Barracuda with 29 home dates, and Gianmarco Soresi (10 dates).

As for where it all happens: 12 venues appear in the current San Jose listings, but the busiest handful looks like this:

• San Jose Improv — 150 events
• SAP Center at San Jose — 70 events
• San Jose Center for the Performing Arts — 44 events
• San Jose Civic — 34 events
• Tech CU Arena — 30 events
• The Ritz — 23 events

On timing: November 2026 is the fullest month ahead with 90 dated listings. Saturday is the busiest day of the week in San Jose, carrying 108 dates, and the calendar currently reaches to August 2027. Mid-week dates are usually easier to come by than the weekend rush, if your plans are flexible. If a show you want is missing, check back soon — the calendar refreshes continuously as organisers confirm new dates.
