Where to find live music event venues

Peerspace is the best place to find stunning live music event venues in your area, from traditional locations like concert halls to more unique, offbeat spaces like intimate rooftop gardens and grunge industrial studios. The options are endless, and you can narrow your results by amenities, including things like professional lighting equipment and sound systems. Browse everything from gorgeous spaces for small acoustic performances to concert halls that can handle sold-out rock shows. The perfect music event venue is out there, waiting to complete your artistic vision.

How to plan a live music event

Planning a live music event can be painless if you make it easy on yourself. We've got information on everything involved in renting a live music venue, which is the most important part. You need to know the live music venue, the date of the concert, and how many people you anticipate coming. Of course, you also have to line up the talent if you're not performing yourself! Once everything's in place, you can focus on marketing and advertising your live show.

Do you need a permit for a live music event?

Live music events do usually require permits. The required permits will vary from place to place, so you'll have to check your city and state ordinances. Licenses and permits may include special events permits, business permits, food and drink permits, noise permits, etc. Whether or not you are charging money for tickets to your concert may also play a role, as will the number of attendees. Often, booking a short-term live music venue through Peerspace will take care of some of these responsibilities since the venue itself will hold the necessary permits.

as we had a 3 day meeting there, but most things were not under the owners control such as loud construction outside and live music being played downstairs of the building. Otherwise, all was great and the space is great...

this, but I learned day-of there is no sound system housed at the venue, so if you book, you should plan to bring your own. They've had other events with live music and can accommodate many different music set-ups...
