I love everything about this place! The sound is incredible! Camping is so beautiful and fun. Easy to get to and just an amazing time!!!

Parking is dirt and gravel. The actual venus is awesome. It's a cave so very damp but the ambiance is awesome and makes for a great show! Pretty far drive from Nashville so if you can you should stay in a yurt! read more

This venue has been on my concert venue bucket list for a long time, and we recently made it for the four-night King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard run - which included two shows underground in the cave and two above ground in the amphitheater. From the cool and unique venue standpoint, it did not disappoint. So some things to know... this is a venue that yes, is a cave! It's pretty cool and part of a larger cave system that you can tour (highly recommend). It's also basically right where Bonaroo is held. So there is actually infrastructure like hotels in the area that can support a major music event. It's about an hour from Nashville, which is the nearest big airport. It IS in the middle of the mountains, and cell service is pretty crappy (and not existent inside the cave). Just know going in. Final random thing to know: the security team here wear cowboy hats and pack heat. It is rural Tennessee. Along the way, someone said the capacity was abut 1,600 in the cave and about 6,000 above ground. That seemed about right to me. The cave shows are intimate. They are small (in a good way). And the acoustics AND the lighting make it really unique. I would almost say you are better off being further back in the cave so you can really appreciate the visual impact of the cave. But being up close was a heck of a good time too. Just know that the shows in the cave can be tough if you are older and have adult aches and pains. My back, hip and feet were screaming at me after all that time on my feet. The staff inside the cave were great and I never had to wait very long for anything in line (except the merch line, which was insane). Bring good walking shoes. All the surfaces are uneven and much of it is dirt and gravel. Upstairs, the amphitheater is pretty traditional... there's a VIP section up front with plastic seats (that are actually quite nice). And then there's a lawn. There's a regular raised stage and it's much more of a "normal" concert venue. It was a really nice way to see some shows and a very unique experience. Also want to give the VIP staff some props... they did everything they could to make the VIP experience as VIP as they could. The VIP packages came with all the normal stuff, including a shuttle bus. But I heard the camping was good and the parking for all was free, which was a nice surprise. read more

The coolest venue I've ever been to! The acoustics this place holds. It's a drive from Knoxville Chattanooga and Nashville BUT WORTH IT. You can camp over night even. Highly suggest read more

Saw Aaron Lewis & the Stateliners at The Caverns in Pelham, TN this weekend and it was GREAT! VERY COOL venue - this is our 2nd time seeing Aaron there. Sampled some of the food trucks out there during the concert as well and the BBQ was incredible! read more

The Caverns are a very memorable fun experience that everyone who likes music should attend at least once. The atmosphere is great and the acoustics even better. They had food trucks and lemonade! They also served large cans of beer, seltzer and cider. I went to a standing room only concert but managed to grab a rock to sit on which was fine. Make sure and wear a jacket it's chilly inside the cave. read more

Good afternoon, I first want to start by saying that the Caverns surpassed my expectation. My wife and I attended the Matroda at The Caverns All Night show and it was a great show. the atmosphere, customer service, the security team and staff were very helpful. The food was great and we enjoyed how the whole set up allowed for everything to flow smoothly. will definitely be recommending any and all Caverns shows. The on site camping is definitely a plus as well. read more

A very cool venue! The lighting and sound were great and the background of the cavern made for interesting ambiance. The venue is a bit cool because of the rock so keep that in mind. There's bathrooms and a bar built inside and it's pretty easy access. For this event there were some food trucks outside too so it was easy to go get and come back and enjoy the music. read more

We went in and had a tour the day before Supersonic Caverns and it was amazing. Our tour guide Landon was super knowledgeable about the cave and all the history and had a answer for every question we had! Would recommend checking it out, both caves were very cool! read more

Loved the acoustics in the caverns. This is a fantastic venue for live music. Just wish there were seats. read more

The Caverns - The Dead South - Music Venues Near Me - Pelham, Tennessee

The Caverns is a beautiful cave where we were able to enjoy a show. My partner and I had never been before, and were very impressed by the friendliness and accessibility of the staff. The road to the cave is quite country, and we only got turned around once trying to find the cave. Once we found the location there was a staff member there immediately to direct us to parking, and lots of staff around that pointed us towards the cave. They had vendors and merchandise outside of the cave available for purchase (kettle corn and sodas, t-shirts for the show) and a very efficient check-in service for both tickets and security. The bathrooms were large and accessible, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that the cave itself had a merchandise stand directly inside the cave (with the most beautiful posters I have ever seen). Now, I will say that I dressed in layers because I was warned that "this is a cave, it will be cold." However, the body heat of the crowd and the electronics used in the show certainly made sure that I was in fact removing layers rather than putting them back on. My only complaint is that the chairs were metal folding chairs, and the line to get to our seats towards the front of the stage got a little long (likely due to confusion over aisles). The people in front of me kept scooting their chairs back, and I had to ask them to scoot them forward a few times, but that is no fault of the venue. Overall, we had a wonderful time and it was very reasonably priced. I am looking forward to coming back again (perhaps for a winter show this time). read more

The Caverns - Band of Horses - Music Venues Near Me - Pelham, Tennessee

Super cool venue! Came into town to see Trevor hall and gone gone beyond. Never knew of this place beforehand but once I looked it up, I knew I had to go! Saw lots of deer on our drive there. Stayed at smokehouse lodge about 20 minutes away. Easy to access and wasn't overly crowded where it would of been uncomfortable. Cute bathrooms and great selection on drinks. The music sounded great in the caverns and the light visuals looked great! I would totally travel back again. Even grabbed myself a beer koosie and a t-shirt. read more

We had a great time at the comedy show taping at The Caverns. We did the cave tour in the afternoon before the show. It was well worth it great stories about how The Caverns came to be as a venue for music and comedy. I would definitely go see a show there again. It is really close to the interstate, 10-15 minutes, so really convenient to get there. read more

We attended a show at the caverns on 11/22/25. I was so worried about traffic, parking, long lines, etc. This was the least stressful venue we have ever attended. Traffic was light and manageable and parking was so easy. They knew how to get everyone through security, quickly and no stress! There were employees in every area. They got you parked, to where you needed to be and kept things moving and stress free. Even in a moment of a patron's medical issue, they were on top of everything! The show we saw was great. There really isn't a bad seat in the house! We are planning on going back as soon as a show we want to see is announced. We were a little nervous about actually being in a cave, but don't let that worry you. It is not like you are miles under the ground. You can actuall see the "stage" from the line going in. Go, have fun. It's amazing! read more

Had heard many good things about this out-the-way music venue, and for the most part, I was happy with the reality. Yes, it is in the middle of nowhere. Yes, the weather can, em, put a real damper on the event. And, yes, it's not exactly accessible (lots of gravel in the parking lot, hills, uneven walking terrain). If you know all the obstacles and you are still up for adventure + music, I think you'll be happy with your IRL exprience, too. As other yelpers have noted: concessions moves fast plenty of space in the back to dance and maybe find a rock to sit on cool temps are quickly forgotten when people fill in We didn't get a chance to take the tour, so I'd to come back for that. Also, it should be noted that not all the up-coming shows are inside the cavern. This may be due to Covid, but some are set up outdoors nearby. read more

The Caverns should be a staple for all concert go-ers! The setup is as good as it gets. They have a very large and flat campground which also has areas for quieter campers and that's a huge bonus. Sometimes ya just want to sleep in peace and quiet and they offer that quieter camping area by request. The property itself is beautiful. The trail that you take to walk to the venue is awesome and well lit at night. The staff were so nice and respectful so treat them the same. The Main stage and underground cave stage is incredible, photos don't capture the vibe when you're there so just subscribe to the place for upcoming notifications and get ready for an amazing musical adventure. I'm super serious. Cheers! read more

I had the best birthday experience at the caverns in Pelham! The event was very well organized and the security and team inside the cavern were awesome. I want to tell them thank you and how much I appreciate them keeping us all safe! The show was incredible and I can't tell you how awesome it was to see an artist I love in such an incredible place. Thank you from Knoxville read more

Super cool underground concert venue. We saw the Steeldrivers here. Amazing show! Acoustics were crazy good especially in a cave! Bathrooms were nice and clean. They have canned beer,wine and cocktails. Great brands. The bar was SUPER efficient and fast. Seats were padded folding chairs. Decent seating. Overall this was a great place for a smaller concert venue. We are coming back next month! read more

Came here to listen to a concert, super cool venue inside a cave! It was a seated concert, and it was a competition among many artists so we got to hear a lot of different music which was interesting. Enjoyed it, although I think due to the acoustics, the sound blends together and each singer's words get blurred. I think it's due to the way the cave is, but I could be wrong. Such a cool venue though! There are also tours here, both for walking through the actual cave and adventure caving! read more

The Caverns is an awesome spot where you can see live music inside a "tame" cave or also go on a cave adventure in a "wild cave" as The Caverns is BOTH a live music venue and a cave tourism fun location. Cave exploring is a great escape relaxation from the world to so something a bit different and if you combine it with a live music show you can get the full experience of this fantastic location. If you like to explore caves and watch live music then The Caverns located in Pelham, Tennessee should grab your interest. The Caverns are in a easy to access spot between Nashville and Chattanooga so it is a great stop to add when doing your roadtrip vacation planning. The Caverns is noted as the longtime home of the PBS show The Bluegrass Underground. You should check out the live music schedule here and also make the time to explore this area of Cumberland Plateau at The Caverns during your visit. Overall this is a VERY unique spot to both enjoy some live music and a wild cave tour! My video review of The Caverns is here: https://youtu.be/_hbjU70eqv0 read more

So I went to see Clutch at the caverns. I have to say, what a great time we had. Wish I had done the cave tour. I guarantee I will be back for another show! read more

Camped for two days for recent EDM show. Brought a few gallons of water each because I knew they wouldn't have water available, but campground gave out a 6-pack at checkin. That was super nice. Port-a-poties spaced throughout campground were cleaned daily. Plenty available and dispersed well, so never a walk or wait. Food vendors were amazing locals. There was a sorta everything cafe, a chicken tenders and fries, and a BBQ truck. Super nice people. Fields Family guy even gave us a cup of coffee for free because it was an hour old and he thought we should only pay if it was fresh. Walk to the cave was spectacular. It's well lit, so no need for headlamp. Campsite is also well lit, maybe too much so. Cave venue was bucket-list worthy. Stunning! I'd heard mixed reviews on sound, but for loud EDM music, it was pretty wonderful. The pics make it look bigger. The shows here are small and intimate. With capacity requirements fairly low for standing room shows, there is plenty of room to spread out, making it easy to move around (so venture down to the stage at some point). No hydration packs allowed (only small but there are water stations with cups at the back by the bar- kept full and tidy. Also water for sale at the bar. read more

Such a great experience seeing Jo Dee Messina at our local venue, The Caverns! Loved that it was a seated concert when needed -- super thoughtful touch. Everyone was polite, the setting was unique, and the whole night was just smooth and enjoyable. read more

This place is like nothing else I've ever been to. Seeing a show underground is fantastic. The sound, atmosphere, and whole environment takes the musical experience to another level. You can experience shows in a natural setting any time of year and the temps are perfect! The outside amphitheater venue is awesome too for warmer weather. read more

We went for a Marshall Tucker band concert, and we very much enjoyed it. The venue is unique but very intimate and there is not a bad seat in the house to see the show and the entertainers. The sound is very good and everyone we encountered seemed to be intent on making our visit as pleasant as possible. Getting into and out of the venue was very easy and everything runs smoothy. They have food trucks but only beer and wine in cans and I think that is most likely due to local law restrictions, we really had a good time and plan to return in the near future. read more

Over the past year and a half i've been to 14 shows at the caverns, & each time the experience gets better and better!

Lots of space to camp and was very organized. Yurts are much farther away than vip camping. Bring starters for the firewood. Bring a bag to collect your garbage and chairs. It's a little trek to the caverns. Print your tickets before you go. Not always tons of food options. We only had two; sandwiches and poke. (Poke was awesome!) will definitely be back for the right show. read more

Concert inside a cave, why not Concerts are great! Staff are helpful. Don't forget about their homemade banana pudding.

Been to a couple shows and I love the venue. Very cool way to see music. The cave always has a nice cool temp because it's a cave!! Love that they added an outdoor stage for bigger shows, Avett brothers was great. Also, adding camping to the property is amazing. I live in Georgia and the camping has opened the door for me to make it to many more shows. Moe. Just a few weeks ago was another fantastic experience. Hopefully I'll be back sooner then later.
