Sacramento's channel 24 thrives as festival scene fades

Amidst a wave of cancellations plaguing Sacramento's Music festival circuit, Channel 24, a relatively new venue, is quietly celebrating a successful first year, defying industry trends and proving that a dedicated local space can flourish even when larger events falter.

Filling a niche in sacramento’s music ecosystem

The venue, operated by Another Planet Entertainment, has hosted roughly 80 shows since opening, with nearly half drawing sell-out crowds. General Manager Jon Gunton attributes this early success to a combination of factors, chief among them the venue's unique size – a sweet spot between intimate clubs and massive arenas.
