About The Orange Peel

The Orange Peel is a cornerstone of Asheville’s live music scene, located in the heart of downtown at 101 Biltmore Ave. Known for its large dance floor and flexible seating configurations, this venue has hosted a who’s-who of artists—from Bob Dylan and The Killers to Arcade Fire and Blondie. With a sellable standing capacity around 1,050 (about 1,100 after expansion bids in 2009) and limited perimeter stools, most shows land in GA standing with occasional reserved seating for select performances. Whether you’re here for a high-energy headline or a more intimate set, we’ve got you covered with easy, no-fuss ticket options and practical planning details.

Planning your visit? We’ve gathered parking, transit, and nearby hotel and dining options to help you get there with less stress. The Orange Peel sits in downtown Asheville, a short walk from the Coxe Ave transit hub served by Asheville Rides Transit (ART). Street parking is often available, with free parking after 6 pm, plus nearby paid lots. If you’re staying in town, top nearby hotels include Aloft Asheville Downtown, Renaissance Asheville Downtown Hotel, and AC Hotel Asheville Downtown. For dining before or after the show, consider affiliates and trusted local spots that pair well with a night of music. If a show is rescheduled or date to be announced, we’ll reflect that so you can secure your seats with confidence.
