If you go...
Warning - most of these venues do not supply earplugs or have them for sale.

Purchase your own in advance and save your hearing! We like it loud - but we don't want it THAT loud.

Most of the musicians wear earplugs, so you should, too.

Reno rocks! Top places to see live music

Venues offering local and touring acts for low prices

Nothing beats the experience of a live show, so catch one in Reno. Hot touring bands and cool local acts, up-close and personal. The lights, the sound, the electric charge in the room - it can all be yours, if the venue is right.

Catch a show so intimate you can look the singer in the eye as he delivers the gripping lyrics to your favorite song. Sit so close you can watch the fingers of a guitar god fly as he breaks out the best face-melting solo you've ever heard. Maybe, after the set, you can even talk to the musicians and buy them a beer before they head off to the next gig.
