We came to see Hairball for the first time here and it was one of the best nights of my life. One the performing arts center is absolutely gorgeous. So vintage and beautiful. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Really enjoyed the atmosphere.
The Hairball concert was out of this world. We thought it would just be a bad cover band or something but it was the complete opposite. I felt like I was in the 80s and was in front of all the hair bands. We got to see so many different bands that they covered and it was amazing. Sound, movements, lights, music was spot on. We enjoyed every minute. I can’t wait to see them again. Loved it!!

First time at Coronado, really good experience! The event (rock concert) was well staffed, plenty of concession and ushers to help. Very little wait including restrooms. Parking across the street was super convenient and reasonably priced.
This is a beautiful, intimate theater! A true piece of art, architecturally and beyond. Great sound and not a bad seat in the place. Highly recommend!
Great time with out best friends and seen Charlie Berens Coronado looks amazing as it always is the parking enforcers abm..we're very rude for no reason but that's a totally different subject
Very nice, historical theater in downtown Rockford. Plenty of bars and beer coolers around. I was here for a Charlie Berens comedy show. Great show, Great crowd, and great atmosphere. Many unique woodcarving decorations. The bathroom urinals seem to be original to the building. Very old.
Great history! It is absolutely amazing inside. The sound was really good. Not a bad seat in the house. Don't park in the ramp! You have to pay and hard to get out after the show. A lot of parking on the side streets.
A beautiful theater. They streamlined the ticket a parking process ahead of time, so we didn't have to worry about anything besides showing our tickets when we go there. It was clean and an overall enjoyable experience.
Nice venue, easy to get in and to get out. Right across a parking garage which is perfect. Drinks are a bit pricey. Had a good time though!
Lovely experience every time we go. Theater staff is always friendly, theater is always clean, and the shows are great. One of the few things to do in Rockford that's still reasonably priced for a night out.
Beautiful old theater. I've been coming here nearly all of my life.
2023 has been a banner year for concerts. Great sound and sight lines.

Classic old neat theater. I imagine there is a lot of history in that old building. Safe and secure parking ramp directly across the street.
Beautifully restored historic theatre. Saw the Moody Blues last night ( July 18, 2023) . The seating and view of the stage from the front row of the upper balcony was great. 👍👍👍👍👍
Saw the Floyd Nation Experience tonight , Oct 28, 2023. The music, laser light show and the beautiful Coronado Theater made for a perfect evening. 👍👍👍👍👍
Just bought tickets to bring my son to see Get The Led Out on Saturday Feb 24, 2024 at 8 pm. 😊

Many thanks to the Moody Blues' John Lodge and Coronado Performing Arts Centre in Rockford, IL, YU.S.A. for a wonderful night of oldies for old, busted up old farts.
Beautiful building. The decor was awesome. I think asking 15% minimum tips is crazy when you only get 2 bottles of water but it was still one of the best theaters I been to.
Such a fun place to see a concert. Acoustics are unbelievable. Love the old feel and all the history behind it.
