![]() ![]() ![]() Rappers such as Snoop Dogg, Tech N9ne, Childish Gambino, Schoolboy Q, and many more has performed at Ace also. Bands such as Two Door Cinema Club, AWOL Nation, Motion city Soundtrack, Rebelution and many more have come through. Without Ace of Spades, the only big artists that would come through Sacramento while on tour would be the big stadium performers, but since there’s Ace of Spades, some pretty big names have come to hit Ace. What’s great about Ace of Spades are the artists and bands that they bring to Sacramento. Maybe I was just lucky enough to go to all the shows with great sound, but I never had a bad experience. Over at Ace of Spades, the sound has always been crisp and well balanced, no matter where I was standing. That or there was too much bass (I know there are some bass enthusiasts out there, but really, too much is too much). With some venues i’ve been to, the voice cannot be heard over the music. I’m not sure if there is an in house sound person, or if every artist had their own, but Ace of Spades has been able to provide great sound either way. The design itself is just great, with chandeliers hanging from the ceilings and red walls, the venue is appealing to the eye. ![]() This might not seem like a big deal, but the bathrooms are big, and they’re always clean (at least for the times I needed to use it). There’s lights up top facing the stage and lights on the stage, which make for some great light shows. The stage itself is big enough to accommodate large bands and groups. In the sold out shows that I went to and didn’t partake in a mosh pit, I had enough personal space to myself. A little overpriced on the food and drink items, but then again, what venue isn’t? The floor space is very open, great for crowds to go crazy and mosh or vibe to the music and chill. This is for the regular drinks and even the food items. Facing the stage, on the right hand side, there’s a bar open to all. From back there, you have a bar and an overview of the whole venue. The second 21+ section is in the back, elevated on a second story. I haven’t been to that section due to my 21st birthday being in November, but from what I heard, it still provides a great view for those that want to be on that side. Facing the stage, on the left side is a 21+ section, for people that want to sit down. With the main stage up against the corner, they utilize the rest of the floor space for good use. Now, three and a half years and eight shows later, I want to share why Ace of Spades will always hold a special place in my heart.Īce of Spades is essentially set up like a large disfigured diamond. I’ve been to a wide variety of shows over at Ace of Spades, from a small crowd to sold out, hip-hop to rock, heavy to chill, indie to punk you get the picture. Quite honestly… I am not sick of that place at all! Each experience was great and left me with no problem coming back for more. So seeing the Dirty Heads live marked my eighth time going to Ace of Spades in Sacramento, Ca. ![]()
