About Louisville Concerts

While you may know Louisville for being the largest city in Kentucky and home to the Kentucky Derby, the city also boasts a loud and proud concert scene. In fact, Louisville is known for producing some of the country’s earliest jug band music, the name for when a group of jazz, blues, or folk musicians use improvised instruments such as jugs and washboards to produce songs and melodies.

Louisville is also home to The Grand Ole Country Music Show. Many famous musicians and bands have come out of Louisville but not all have been country, jazz, or jug band artists. In fact, Bryson Tiller is a rapper from Louisville who had a Billboard Number One album in 2017 called True to Self.

Located along the Ohio River with a population comparable to Nashville, Tennessee, Louisville offers an array of concert venues and bars to enjoy musical performances. From the Louisville Palace Theatre and Headliners Music Hall to The Mercury Ballroom and Cardinal Stadium, there’s no shortage of spots to get your groove on. Taylor Swift, U2, Bon Iver, Demi Lovato, and many more have all graced stages across Louisville.

Another popular spot among locals and tourists alike is Louisville Champions Park. Complete with over ten multi-use lawns and various concession stands, this is a great spot to enjoy the outdoors while dancing and singing along to some of the best acts around. Waterfront Park is another outdoor area in downtown Louisville where you can attend the city’s annual Forecastle Fest in July.

With a capacity of over 22,000 people, the KFC Yum! Center is one of the country’s best venues. It’s been said that Garth Brooks had the largest attendance of any other performer at the KFC Yum! Center back in 2016. Garth Brooks' concerts drew more than 70,000 fans over a four-day period.
