Citizens Expands Live Music Investment in Pittsburgh with Roxian Theatre
Following the launch of Citizens Live at The Wylie, Citizens is deepening its commitment to the city’s cultural landscape.
PITTSBURGH, PA (October 1) – Citizens is strengthening its connection to Pittsburgh’s arts and culture community with a new partnership at one of the region’s most beloved venues for live music, newly named the Roxian Theatre presented by Citizens. This marks the latest chapter in Citizens’ growing relationship with the city and its culture.
This announcement builds on the momentum of Citizens Live at the Wylie, the first-ever name-in-title partnership for Pittsburgh’s new 4,000-capacity venue, announced in March and set to open in the Lower Hill District in 2026. With both Roxian Theatre presented by Citizens and Citizens Live at the Wylie, the bank is expanding its role in shaping the future of live music in The Steel City from historic neighborhood theaters to next-generation cultural destinations.
"At Citizens, we believe in the power of music to bring communities together and redefine Pittsburgh as a premier destination for arts and culture,” said Mark Rendulic, Citizens Pittsburgh Market President. “The Roxian Theatre has long been a cornerstone of Pittsburgh’s live music scene, and our partnerships with both the Roxian and Citizens Live at the Wylie are an extension of our ongoing investment in the cultural vibrancy of the city.”
Citizens’ name-in-title sponsorship of Citizens Live at the Wylie and Roxian Theatre presented by Citizens builds on the bank’s existing support of Pittsburgh’s iconic institutions and neighborhood theaters, including the Andy Warhol Museum’s Warhol Academy and Sound Series, City of Pittsburgh Summer Concert Series, August Wilson Center’s Community Days, and Kelly Strayhorn Theater. Support for the new venue reinforces the bank’s belief in the power of the arts to drive regional economic vitality, foster community pride, and make Pittsburgh a destination for creativity and innovation.
Exclusive Perks for Citizens Cardholders
Citizens debit and credit cardholders will now receive exclusive presale access and skip-the-line entry at both Citizens-sponsored venues. Whether seeing a breakout artist or a major headliner, these benefits bring fans even closer to the moments that matter most.
Debit and credit cardholders will also be getting an upgraded experience for elevated hospitality, with refreshed fan spaces and a new Skybox/Lounge presented by Citizens.
“Our relationship with Citizens continues to grow, and this announcement is another sign of that momentum,” said Maggie Gessner, Head of Clubs, Live Nation. “Each step we take together underscores our joint commitment to growing Pittsburgh’s reputation as a true destination for live entertainment.”
Originally opened in 1929, Roxian Theatre has been a mainstay in McKees Rocks for nearly a century. Since reopening as a music venue in 2019, it’s become one of the most celebrated spots in the city for live shows. Now, Roxian Theatre presented by Citizens enters a new era — one defined by community, access, and unforgettable live music experiences.
