Concerts rock! And never more so than in Greater Raleigh. Widely recognized as one of the hottest live music destinations, Raleigh and Cary play host to a wide variety of artists in an array of settings, many of which are outdoors. Whether you see one show or a dozen, you're sure to benefit from having so many great venues so close together.

Experience a diverse roster of shows at long-time area favorite Time Warner Cable Music Pavilion at Walnut Creek, or see why Cary's Koka Booth Amphitheatre was voted the nation's best small concert venue.

Enjoy old favorites, like the free, all-day, multi-show Bud Light Downtown Live, featuring nationally acclaimed artists, or revel in the intimacy of smaller shows at the North Carolina Museum of Art's Park Theater. Immerse yourself in the full-on charge of the RBC Center, or take in a performance at the Progress Energy Center for the Performing Arts. The choices, and the range of musicians, are unique and varied.

Check back here to book tickets online, and visit often for the latest list of shows and special ticket offers as they become available.
