What is THE NOX? 

THE NOX is a premier, purpose-built music and event venue in the East Valley of Arizona. Designed to bring world-class live entertainment to one of the fastest-growing regions in the state, the venue features cutting-edge acoustics, intentional design, and a curated guest experience. THE NOX redefines what a local venue can be—where music, culture, and community come together. 

What inspired the design? 

THE NOX draws its name and creative vision from Nox, the goddess of the night in ancient Roman mythology. She symbolizes mystery, elegance, and the transformative energy of the evening—qualities that influence everything from the venue’s dark, refined palette to its dramatic lighting and atmospheric design. Every detail is crafted to evoke a sense of excitement and allure once the sun goes down. 

What kind of events or performances will be held at THE NOX? 

THE NOX will host a wide range of events including live concerts, DJ sets, themed parties, cultural showcases, comedy nights, and private experiences. With flexible production capabilities and premium AV infrastructure, the venue is built to accommodate both emerging artists and national touring acts across multiple genres. 

Where is THE NOX located? 

THE NOX is located in the East Valley of metro Phoenix, strategically positioned near rapidly growing communities like Eastmark, Queen Creek, and Gilbert. Its location offers easy access and high visibility while serving one of the most dynamic, underserved entertainment markets in Arizona.

Why was this location selected?

The East Valley is experiencing explosive growth in both residential and commercial sectors but lacks high-quality live entertainment options. This market gap, combined with strong demographics and increasing demand for cultural and nightlife experiences, made it the ideal location for THE NOX to thrive as a regional entertainment hub. 

What sets THE NOX apart from other music venues in the Phoenix area?

THE NOX is a venue with purpose, not just a performance space. What makes it different: Purpose-built layout with acoustics as a priority, a premium yet intimate vibe that keeps every guest close to the action, sophisticated VIP amenities, elevated food, drink, and hospitality offerings, and a programming strategy that blends music, art, and lifestyle. This is a space designed to feel legendary, night after night. 

Is THE NOX near the airport? Will noise be an issue?

THE NOX is located near Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport but has been designed with sound engineering and noise mitigation in mind. Guests will enjoy a high-fidelity audio experience without disruption.
