Went to see Vampire Weekend at Asheville Yards. It was a great experience (even in the pouring rain)! There were plenty of places to get drinks, plenty of bathrooms and several food trucks. The stage and the sound were very good. I would recommend a video screen or two be added to the side of the stage for people in the back. The place was clean, had some artificial grass in addition to the pavement and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this venue if you are into seeing live music!

I went to Asheville yards to see beabadoobee and it was amazing. It was very organized and had free water which was nice because of the heat/humidity! However, it was very crowded and the people that attended the event weren't the nicest folks 😞. These people wouldn't let me back in my spot after I got water and accused me of lying 🙄 but other than that beabadoobee was incredible and was so nice and sweet :) She sounded angelic and amazing live!! 🩷💗

Cool little venue tucked in to Asheville. Easy in, easy out and will drive anywhere to see G Love!!! My man puts on a show like few others...Just sayin'...Check him out if given the opportunity!! Don't drink alot here unless you are cool with portable toilets...Me, I chose to avoid that whole ordeal!!

Absolutely awesome. For the first time visiting this venue, we will be back. The staff was friendly, inviting and went out of their way to ensure everyone had a great time. Trampled by Turtles and Mipso were great acts to open the new season!!!!

Had been to this venue a few times and loved it. Thought it would be awesome to take my daughter there for Father’s Day. Went to see G. Love, John Butler trio and Dispatch. G. Love was great. John Butler, however, went on an anti-Semitic rant!!!!!! My daughter is Jewish. What was supposed to be a great time sharing the music I love with my daughter turned into a nightmare as we left with tears in her eyes. (Didn’t even see Dispatch) She felt unwelcome and unsafe at this venue. I understand that the views of artist are not necessarily the views of the venue. I emailed the venue about what happened…….no response! I have messaged them before for other info and they got right back to me. All this being said, it begs the question…….. Does this venue have anti-Semitic views? Are Jews not welcome? They won’t talk to me so I can only believe that they are aligned with that way of thinking. What a shame.

Lovely outdoor concert venue! Multiple bars on site to mitigate long lines. A couple of restroom options. The stage and space were great for an outdoor show. Saw Nickel Creek and Andrew Bird here, and it was phenomenal. What stuck out the most to me, though, was the security fellas giving away free bottles of water to the crowd. In my many decades of concert going, I have NEVER seen that type of kindness shared by staff. It was barely even hot out. So kind, though! The music sounded stellar, too. I dig that they have Asheville Brewing serving up local brews, too. Can't wait to come back!

This is a good sized, outdoor venue with good viewpoints from all over. Drink prices aren't outlandish like some other venues. We had rain and lightning during the show and instead of fully cancelling, they cleared the venue, and within 45 minutes, let us back in instead of just cancelling the show. After a 3 hr drive, that was much appreciated. Also, love the parking right across the street for just $3.

The way the venue is slanted doesn't make sense. It is standing room only and they don't allow any chairs. The noise ordinance means shorter shows that end at 9:30 pm. Always a super long line for merch and where it's located, you can't view it until the last minute. Probably my least favorite venue in Asheville. The staff are great though.
