Stage 8: Live Music, Comedy Shows & Live Entertainment Near Pittsburgh

Stage 8 is Gibsonia’s newest live entertainment stage, located inside The Hilltop Events Center. This is where comedy shows sell out, live bands take the stage, and a night that started as dinner plans turns into something worth talking about on Monday.

Where the North Hills Comes for a Night Out

Pittsburgh has no shortage of things to do. Stage 8 offers something more specific: a fully produced live entertainment experience in the North Hills, with dinner, drinks, and a show all under one roof. Whether you are catching a comedy show, watching a live band, competing in a hosted game show night, or enjoying any of our exciting events, Stage 8 is designed to make every visit feel like an event rather than just a reservation.

The stage is hosted by The Hilltop Events Center, located at 5301 Ranalli Drive in Gibsonia, one minute from PA Turnpike Exit 39 and 30 minutes from downtown Pittsburgh.
