About The Valarium

Welcome to The Concourse at The Valarium, a historic live music venue in North Knoxville. With a flexible configuration that can accommodate roughly 500 to 1,000 attendees depending on the event, this space has hosted a wide range of performances—from intimate goth and industrial nights to larger EDM and alternative acts. The venue’s evolution over the years reflects its enduring role in Knoxville’s music scene, from the Electric Ballroom era to The Valarium, The Blackstock, The International, and now The Concourse.

Below you’ll find seating information, parking and transportation options, and nearby hotels and restaurants to make your visit easy and enjoyable.
