All neighborhoodsCharlotte's music lives in its neighborhoods. Pick a part of town and see who is playing, with our notes on the rooms.
Uptown
Center city, the big roomsUptown is Charlotte's center city, home to the arena, the performing arts halls, and the marquee nights. It is where the biggest tours land and a night out feels a little dressed up.
The Music Factory
The entertainment districtThe AvidXchange Music Factory packs several stages into one block just north of Uptown, from the big Fillmore room to the small Underground and an open air amphitheater. One destination, a lot of shows.
NoDa
The arts districtNorth Davidson is Charlotte's arts and music quarter, full of galleries, breweries, and the rooms that book the bands worth bragging about.
South End
Trendy and walkableSouth End pairs the rail trail with breweries, patios, and a couple of easy nights of live music. It is the walkable side of the city you wander after work.
