My goodness, I can't begin to say how much I love this place.It's my absolute favorite venue and I always love going to the area!(P.S. seeing Halestorm here is my dream show!?)
This is a fantastic venue and, if I’m ever back in Asheville, I hope to see another show here. I’m from Nashville, which is covered up in top-notch music venues, and I found the Orange Peel to be comparable to some of Nashville’s similar-sized rock venues. We saw Belle & Sebastian, which was two hours late and then took another hour to actually come on stage, so the show didn’t even start until 10 pm and there was no opener band since Belle & Sebastian was so late. They started their tour in Asheville, and didn’t bother to fully prepare for their first show so they were still working through their own material. It felt more like a practice session. I have always liked them and was glad to get to see them, but it was quite annoying and disrespectful and, since it was a Tuesday night, we were just glad we were there on vacation and didn’t have to work the next day as many locals would have had to. Aside from that, the venue itself is badass and has excellent acoustics. I highly recommend seeing a show here.
Great venue and location. Kind of place where you come as you are to watch a show from your favorite band and drink from the large assortment of craft brews available at the bar. Currently boasting great Japanese street food as well available from Hashi Hana in the front of the arena which was fantastic. Grilled Cheese kimchi was out of this world! Location wise it’s pretty central from any location in Asheville being next door to Wicked Weed Brewing and easy to get to. Parking is more than likely the biggest obstacle but there are parking garages available just a short walk away. All in all this is a unique Option for music but on the smaller side but that is half its charm. This isn’t a stadium by any means where you feel packed to the brim like sardine but more of a cozy and intimate option to see your event of choice. Cheers!!
Nice concert venue, very intimate. Came here to see Teddy Swims and he was amazing
I love going to see Shows here.I just moved back to Asheville NC ❤️.I lived in Chapel Hill and Durham NC ❤️.I saw a lot of shows there.DPAC, Carolina Theater, The Lincoln theatre, Cats Cradle, Local 506.I wish The Darkness would come play here.
I would like to thank The Orange peel for one of the most enjoyable evenings I've been able to have in a very long time. I would especially like to extend my hand of gratitude to the security manager Mark and his associate Kelly. I am a disabled veteran, and the whole staff were extremely helpful, however these two went over and above the call of duty to ensure I was comfortable and had everything I needed. Kelly continued to come back and check on me to make sure I had everything I needed. Their efforts shows what it really means to appreciate my service and sacrifice. GIVE IT UP FOR THE PEEL MY BROTHERS
Saw coheed and cambria show 3 2-22 there. Was really good venue and awesome place.
I had an amazing experience at The Orange Peel! They were very quick with scanning everyone in. The sound was perfect! It was the ideal atmosphere for the concert I attended!!!
Truly enjoyed this venue seeing Elle King recently. It's an intimate environment that is standing room only (literally). Definitely an opportunity to experience any artist up close and personal and the acoustics work for the size of this venue. Only recommend for anyone who cannot stand up a long time to check out the bar stools ;)
It's a small venue with a beer bar inside. Shows are standing only with a small reserved section with stool seating. The sound is surprisingly excellent for such a small place. Saw Zoso for $15 a ticket and it was great experience all around.
