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.^[2]

In 2021, Pollstar ranked Cain's Ballroom at number 13 worldwide for ticket sales at club venues.^[3]

The venue played a prominent role in the development of western swing in the 1930s and 1940s, when Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys broadcast a near-daily show and performed live weekly.^[4]^[5]

Leon Russell and his band were regularly booked at Cain's when it was owned by Larry Shaeffer.

It is also notable as one of only seven venues played by the Sex Pistols in 1978 during their only North American tour. The band appeared 11 January 1978. After the show, a frustrated Sid Vicious punched a hole in the drywall of the green room. The wall section with the hole has since been removed and is preserved and on display at Cain’s.^[6]

+[[Leon Russell]] and his band were regularly booked at Cain's when it was owned by Larry Shaeffer.
-In the late 1960s, Cain's was shut down for a brief time. It was purchased by 82-year-old Marie Mayers, a Bob Wills fan, in 1972. She planned to reopen Cain's as a full-time dance hall. It experienced very limited success with traditional dance evenings and concert rentals. In 1976 she sold Cain's Ballroom to rock concert investor Larry Shaeffer. His investment in Cain's focused on reviving the original elements and structure. In 1977 Cain's Ballroom opened with a concert by [[Elvin Bishop]]. Shaeffer's production support was Little Wing.
