The Orange Peel
What you need to know
The Orange Peel is a live music venue and concert hall at 101 Biltmore Ave in downtown Asheville, open since 2002 and booking national touring acts across rock, hip-hop, indie, electronic and more. The room holds about 1,050, so you stay close to the stage even at a sold-out show, and the wooden dance floor has some spring to it. Downstairs, Pulp is a 21-and-up bourbon bar and lounge with its own smaller shows.
Local's Tip
For big shows, arrive when doors open, not at show time, because the floor fills fast. The sight lines from the sides near the sound booth are surprisingly good. There's street and garage parking around Biltmore and Lexington Avenues.
What the locals say
Locals say the sound at The Orange Peel is exceptional for a room this size, so you can hear every instrument even on a packed Saturday night. It's a room worth showing up early for, from sold-out indie nights to hip-hop headliners.
