DCU Center Tickets

DCU Center – Worcester, MA Tickets 

Discover the Iconic DCU Center

Located in the heart of Worcester, Massachusetts, the DCU Center has earned its reputation as Central New England’s premier indoor arena and convention complex. Since opening in 1982, the DCU Center (formerly known as the Centrum in Worcester) has hosted an astonishing variety of events—from NHL and AHL hockey to WWE wrestling, from sold-out concerts and family shows to trade expos and conventions. 

With a versatile layout that can accommodate over 14,000 guests, the venue serves as a dynamic entertainment destination and civic hub for Worcester. Over the decades, the DCU Center has welcomed legendary acts like Elton John, Bruce Springsteen, Taylor Swift, and Metallica, while also acting as home turf to the Worcester Railers Hockey Club and frequent touring family spectacles such as Disney On Ice and Cirque du Soleil. 

Whether you’re catching a rock concert, attending a convention, or cheering on your favorite hockey team, the DCU Center promises an electrifying experience every time.
