"The three stages of Cannery Hall (formerly The High Watt, Mercy Lounge and Cannery Ballroom) have been closed for complete gut rehab and are scheduled to reopen in early 2024. These retrofitted brick buildings are beloved by Nashvillians as the places to see non-country acts in Music City. Lizzo played here months before she played the Ryman, for instance. Each venue (now called Row One, The Mil and Mainstage) is standing-room only, and the renovations provide improved sightlines, not to mention better access to the bars and the bathrooms. What’s unlikely to change is access to rowdy, loud, rock, pop, and alternative acts at the city’s largest independent venue." - Kristin Luna,Margaret Littman
