Cain's Ballroom is a historic music venue in Tulsa, Oklahoma that was built in 1924 as a garage for W. Tate Brady's automobiles. Madison W. "Daddy" Cain purchased the building in 1930 and named it Cain's Dance Academy,[1] where he charged ten cents for dance lessons. It fell into disuse until 1976 when Larry Schaeffer purchased the building, refurbished it, and reopened it with the name Cain's Ballroom. Cain's Dancing Academy was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on September 4, 2003.
The Smashing Pumpkins, Billy Corgan and Tinted Windows all have performed here. In 2020, due to complications with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, local radio station 104.5 The Edge put together an auction called "Save the Cain's".[2] Billy Corgan contributed by offering a private Zoom call to one lucky fan, which auctioned for $200.[3]
