About The Blue Note - MO
The Blue Note in Columbia, Missouri, sits in the heart of the North Ninth Street Historic District. This renovated 20th-century theater captures the ambience of a classic music hall while offering modern conveniences for concertgoers. With a capacity of approximately 835 (depending on configuration), the venue hosts a range of artists from intimate indie nights to major headline acts. The Blue Note operates with Rose Music Hall as a sister venue under the same organization, delivering a connected live music experience across downtown Columbia.
Whether you’re planning a first visit or returning for another night of live music, we’ve got you covered with practical details to help you secure your seats and enjoy the show—from seating options to nearby places to stay and dine.
Located at 17 N. 9th St, The Blue Note is easily accessible for residents and visitors alike, with Go COMO public transit serving downtown Columbia and close proximity to the University of Missouri. Parking is convenient but can fill up fast on show nights, so consider nearby garages at 8th & Walnut, 8th & Cherry, or 5th & Walnut, along with downtown street parking.
