PPG Paints Arena opened on August 18, 2010, with a performance by Paul McCartney.^[1] The demand for the first show was so great that tickets sold out within five minutes of going on sale. This prompted the addition of a second show, a day later on August 19.^[2] Originally, Pittsburgh's own Christina Aguilera was planning to open the arena on August 3, 2010. Due to conflicts with construction, Aguilera canceled her show.

Other performers during the arena's first month included Lady Gaga, Roger Waters and Rush. George Strait, Reba McEntire, and Lee Ann Womack performed at the arena on October 14, 2010. Justin Bieber performed on both his My World Tour on December 13, 2010, and on his Believe Tour on November 20, 2012, both to sell-out crowds. Cher performed at the venue during her Dressed To Kill Tour on April 2, 2014. Katy Perry brought her The Prismatic World Tour to the arena on July 22, 2014. On February 17, 2016, Carrie Underwood brought her Storyteller Tour to a sold out crowd with her critically acclaimed 360 degree stage stretching the whole arena floor.
