The Fan Theater venue, hosting larger mainstream acts.
One of the newest venues on the scene, The National filled the much-needed absence of a large club venue in Richmond, and hasn't slowed down since. With a general admission capacity of 1,500, it hosts larger touring and local acts. Features seven full bars, 300 padded stadium seats with cup holders in the balcony, and a state of the art sound system. The National Theater in Richmond opened in 1923. It was a popular site in the downtown scene in Richmond. It hosted vaudeville, silent movies and a live orchestra. It was designed by architect Claude K Howell. From the outside, the building looks like an Italian Renaissance villa. It has featured bands like Blues Traveler, John Mayer, Jack Johnson, Ben Folds, Elvis Costello, Melissa Ethridge, Pat Benatar, Justin Timberlake, and Matchbox 20.
